James Fitzgerald and Ellen Roche married 2 mar 1824

Ellen Curley nee Fitzgerald also had brothers James and John listed on her convict records. I would love to also know of her brothers and perhaps sisters, and of course am also interested in where a outs of Serah Curley. It was stated she was given to Ellen's mother when she was deported to Tasmania. So Serah Curley would have lived with James Fitzgerald And Ellen Fitzgerald nee Roche around 1850 when Ellen Curley nee Fitzgerald was deported.

 

 

 

Links and other info list other children to James Fitzgerald and Ellen Roche... And I also wonder Serah Curley is renamed Ellen Junior, as it appears there was another Ellen much later in some records I have read. I would love solid links and info if anyone is a relative or has documents from the area.

Belinda,  I was interested in this post because my ancestor, Michael Roche (we believe) was from Doneraile, which is next to Buttevant. He was born about 1795, he married Mary Lyons, Febuary 3,1818 in the RC Catholic Church in Doneraile. The fact that there is only six years between their marriages and lived so close to each other. And the fact that Michael's first child's name was Ellen, there  is a chance they could have been closeley related. There is no birth or death information on Michael. I know both tne name Roche and the name Ellen were very common in this area, but I thought it would be worth sending this to you.

 

 

Since I am new to this message board and I am looking for any information on my ancestor Michael Roche from Doneraile in the late 1700's or early 1800's, I extend an invitation to anyone to email me about this Roche family. My email address is: robertrroche4@gmail.com.. Thanks, Bob Roche

Thanks, Belinda,

This is very interesting. I wish I could find out if this Ellen Roche is the daughter

of Mary Lyons and Michael Roche from Doneraille. I would like to see the marriage certificate.
