maurice FITZGERALD and anne SULLIVAN s.a

[cando]

My resource has Maurice's father as Garrett FITZGERALD not Garret Simon.  They were married at St Patrick's Adelaide.

Maurice may have arrived in 1857 on the NAVARINO or 1858 on the NUGGETT.  Both aged 30 from Co Cork, Ireland...[doesn't match the age of the groom though].  Ages on passenger records are not always accurate.

Do you know when and where Maurice died?

Hi Cando,
Thank you for your help, and I am not sure if he had a brother or cousin, my gr grandfather was Richard Fitzgerald and I was searching for Richard and Ellen (nee Harty) child Morris some 14 months ago and found that he died as a child.  But in that search Morris Fitzgerald m. Ann Sullivan turned up and found they had resided in the same place as Richard and both had a daughter Honora.  I am now trying to see if there was a connection between them as they were both born in Cork with a father Garrett.  I did find that Patrick Fitzgerald who married Elizabeth Quinlan was a cousin to Richard.  
I looked at Trove and I didn't recognize any names.  Their was only one Mary Anne that could have been Anna Maria, Morris and Anne daughter but she was married so one would think her surname would be different.  Will keep searching through Trove and may find something there
Cheers

Hi Cando,
I thought the Garrett Simon was an error as Ann Sullivan's father was Simon.  I have found 2 death notice that I think could be Maurice.   The last child on list was born in Gawler, but not sure is he moved after that

When and where did he die?

Hi Cando,
I should have said I think I have a date and it is most likely  the 14 Dec 1895 in Gawler, but I am still trying to get a more positive identification and looked up Trove only to find that 1895 is missing.  I was hoping to get more details of that Maurices death. 
I will keep searching

Both the Advertiser and SA Register newspapers for Dec 1895 are there ...there is simply no death notice for Maurice FITZGERALD.  Not everyone placed notices in the newspaper of the day.

Hi Cando,
Thank you and you are right not everyone places a notice in the papers, even today.
