Fitzpatrick/Hogarty

Kelly:

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

I will alert our parish liaison in Killoscobe parish that you posted a message.

Our volunteer has been back to me but without much success I'm Afraid. He reports that FitzPatrick and Hegarty / Hogarty are not names found in the parish but that you could possibly try focusing on Menlo, Co Galway which sometimes Menlough is confused with.

Thank you for getting back to me.  I keep hitting a dead wall.  So, how would I get in touch with the Menlo, Co Galway?  Attached his the obituary notice for Peter James Fitzpatrick.  That is how I got the Menlough Parish.  Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Hi again

To cover all bases I checked for all of Ireland but couldn't find a marriage record for a Peter and Catherine. There doesn't seem to be a baptism for a Peter for any period within the range 1830-1850 which leads me to believe he was born in a parish that predate parish records. RC parish records for Menough, Kilscobe begin in 1806. In fact there are no baptism records for counties Roscommon, Mayo or Galway for a Peter between 1830 and 1840.

Do you know who Bridget married?

Hi Clare;

Thanks for looking. I believe Peter & Catherine got married in the states, but don't know where. Some one had sent me some information on Peter & Catherine that maybe they got married 1870 or 1871.   For Bridget, she married a Thomas Gately, who also is from Ireland.  The got married in Baltimore, Maryland on January 5, 1854.  I have the record for that.

I was just thinking the records I have on are Peter James Fitzpatrick.  Did they use there middle name back then?

Also, I sending the Passenger List from New York, stating Peter and his family arrived in 2/10/1849.  I'm not sure it's them, but it had both Peter & Bridge on the list.  Hope to hear from you soon.

Hi Kelly

I am the admin for the parish - sorry that I didn't get back to you previously 

Clare had contacted me and I looked through the parish baptismal records - unfortunaltely the name does not appear on any baptismal registers either as child's name, mother's name or sponsor hence my initial response

Hoebver I just had a chance to check the marriage records which overlap before 1847 with Moylough parish as part of Moylough was transferred to Killoscobe in 1848 and found some info

There are several FitzPatrick's mentioned including 

09/02/1846         FITZPATRICK,      ELIZABETH     to      CUNNIFFE,           LUKE     

                         witnesses       FARRELL               HONORIA            FITZPATRICK      THOMAS

12/09/1828         FITZPATRICK      MARGARET    to    GOURAN             MICHAEL            

                                KING     JAMES  LAFF      MARY

11/11/1824         FITZPATRICK      MARY    to CONEALY             PATRICK              

                                CARRY   PATRICK               FITZPATRICK      BRIDGET

14/02/1831         FITZPATRICK      MICHAEL             GLYN     MARY   

                                GLYN     MARTIN               MULLONY           JUDY

20/05/1827         FITZPATRICK      MICHAEL             MORAN               BRIDGET             

                                MULLOWNEY     ISAAC    KILGANNON      MARY

13/06/1825         FITZPATRICK      MICHAEL             NOONE                MARY   

                                KEARY   THOMAS              KEARY   MARY

All predate the parish merger so not sure where they were located exactly

This is the list of people having property in the area in 1855 

The interesting one is Jane in Menlough Commons in killoscobe

http://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths/galway/moylough.php

She is renting plot Plot 17 and living in Plot 15b She is neighbours to Wards and there is a family with a Ward connection still living in that exact area - I will see if they knew of FitzPatrick's 

The Maloney (Mullony/Mullowney) family live nearby so possibly the Michael FitzPatrick marriage is also Menlough

Is there a Jane or Michael in your Peter's or Bridget's family ? 

Sorry again about the lateness in getting back to you and hope this triggers some info

Happy Christmas
