Edmond FITZPATRICK was born in 1788 in Enniscorthy Co Wexford. Edmond married
Elizabeth Elinor FOLEY in 1814, exactly where in the Diocese of Ossory is outstanding.
Thru newspaper articles which mention Edmond by name I have identified four sons
and have calculated each of their dates of birth from the ages given at time of death, eg
FitzPATRICK, T F "son of late Edmond"; 56; Enniscorthy WEX>Dublin DUB IRL; Cork Examiner (COR IRL); 1878-7-1; dja
Francis Johnston b c1815 d 1895.
Edmond Foster b c1817 d 1870
Samuel Foley b c 1820 d 1894
Thomas Foster b c 1822 d 1878.
I believe that another son was Richard b c 1824 d between 1901 &1911 census and
also a daughter Eliza Maria b c 1833.
I have traced Francis Johnston down 3 and 4 generations (some headed west to USA) and with Samuel Foley (my line) I've got that pretty well covered. But its the loose ends for which I have accessed the usual sources, Ancestry, FindmyPast, FamilySearch, Church records at irishgenealogy.ie, rootsireland.ie and Irish newspapers with limited success to obtain my required data, ie
1) where were Edmond and Eleanor married (possibly Wexford?)?
2) where were each of their children born and were there any other children (especially the
"unseen" daughters)?
3) What were the names of the wives of Edmond Foster and Thomas Foster?
4) Were there any children of these marriages?
5) Where did the given names of Johnston, and Foster come from?
The majority of these events would have happened before 1864 or soon thereafter.
It seems that a trip (from Oz) to Dublin to trawl thru the records is my next step.
Any ideas as to where to search for this data would be greatly appreciated.
