When trying to trace the antecedents of my grandmother Nora Fitzgerald  (1861-1943)in Athea I found out that her father Thomas Fitzgerald (died in 1881) lived and farmed in Tooradoo in Athea and had a large family, which I have gained a lot of basic information about. However, a newspaper article based on the funeral attendants of Edward Fitzgerald of Glensharrold in Carrickerry Limerick  (died August 1910) claimed that Thomas Fitzgerald's of Tooradoo children and Edward T Fitzgerald of Knocknasnaa, as well as, the Glensharrold Fitzgerald's were related. I am finding it difficult to ascertain how this is so. All help and guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Ellen

  • Hi Margot,

    Many thanks for the information in your reply.

    Fooradoo is iTooradoo which is featured in the census of 1901 and 1911 as Tooradoe. Since Thomas Fitzgerald died in 1881 in Athea in a place called "Gurteens" the farm was willed to his son Denis Fitzgerald who married Johanna Murphy from Abbeyfeale on 9th February 1898 in the Abbeyfeale Roman Catholic Church.

    I hope this information is what you were looking for

    All the best,

    Ellen
