other possible children born else where
Christopher Fitzgerald sponsor on James baptism 1897
Philip Fitzgerald on Michael's baptism 1889
now i know James and Michael had brother's by these names but they would seem quite young to be Godparents

Can I ask for any help on this query please.

Getting along well with the FitzGerald clan!   One big query. 
   
Found Catherine, (Kate Theresa) and received info from Southampton born 1845.   But #12 shows
a 'Catherine' born  24,09,1838 Limerick parents Thos/Bridget.     Is it possible that this Catherine
died and my 1845 Catherine was given the same name but seems to be known as Kate Theresa, e.g. on daughters birth cert. and on her death cert.        I cannot find  a death for Catherine 1838.

It often happens that a child is named after a deceased sibling.
Most online parish records do not show burial records.

What was the occupation shown for Thomas on the birth certificate?

Catherine (1945). Thomas  down as a Writing Clerk!!!!
