I am still trying to find any local reference to my ancestor whom I understand was born in Bruff in about 1785. Her name was listed as Ann Hagar Fitzgerald. I believe that Hagar could be a Scottish name.
It may be that her name was in fact simply Ann Hagar and that she married a Fitzgerald.
She had 4 sons in Bruff - James 1805; John 1807; William 1809 and Richard 1811. John eventually emigrated to England and became a successful Master Tailor in Birmingham and later in London. The other boys I think migrated to the Baltimore/New York areas in the US.
Is there any way of accessing local birth / marriage records?
Any assistance greatly appreciated.
