Look up Please - orphanage records

[Lucy2]

Hi Paula

I did spend some time after your recent post, going back over "FITZPATRICK" and trying to see if there was more info for Elizabeth / Lizzie.   It takes a bit of time ... and sideways thinking - and unfortunately I've not really come up with anything new.

I think you've made a good decision to obtain the birth record for John Goodwin FITZPATRICK (hope you remembered to order the "printout" of this - rather than a certificate - as this generally gives the best available details.   

Look forward to learning what the record contains.

Hi Lu,

Yes I have ordered the printout for his birth certificate.
I've also been trying to find out if the Michael on the passenger list that we found for Elizabeth (not sure if our Elizabeth but seems likely) is related.
Just seems lots of coincidences with the people on the passenger list all being from the same place in Ireland. 
Ship - Hudson arrived Wellington 14 Mar 1879
Single Males
Michael Fitzpatrick - 22
John Goodwin - 23
Cathe Goodwin -18
Eliz Fitzpatrick - 18
All from Fermanagh, Ireland

The age of Eliz is a bit off compared to the death cert that I found.  Died 1939 age 85.  But perhaps since there isn't any place of residence or even children listed, they didn't really know how old she was.

It sure seems to be a needle in a haystack.

Thanks for all your help.

Paula

Will post when I get John's BC and what it tells us.

Thanks, Paula

Will come back to this when I'm able ... working on a process of "elimination" at present.
