« on: Sunday 12 October 08 04:49 UTC (UK) »
Hello,

I would be very grateful for any information about relatives around Limerick or elsewhere.  My grandparents came to Australia from Limerick about 1915. They both died in 1930 leaving 2 sons as orphans.

My grandparents were:

David Fitzgibbon, born about 1880 in Murroe, Limerick. His parents were William Fitzgibbon and Ellen Fleming.

Mary Ellen Liston, born about 1878 in Athlucca, Limerick. Her parents were Michael Liston and Katherine Bennett.

It was Mary Ellen's second marriage. She was married to John McCarthy in 1907and had a son, William. They moved to America. She left her son there with his father and went back to Ireland, married David Fitzgibbon and migrated to Australia. 

I think David Fitzgibbon was a game keeper in Ireland. They were both Catholic.

I have a copy of the registration of the marriage of David's parents, William Fitzgibbon and Ellen Fleming in 1868. Their  fathers were Mick? Fitzgibbon and John Fleming.

I would love to know more. Is anyone doing any research into these families?

Regards,

Marie, Australia.

WallyO,
My people Flemings came to Australia from Limerick (Abington/Murroe) six sons of Phillip and Hannah (Coghlan) Fleming. Tenannt farmers to Mathew Barrington at Glenstall. Born 1800, married about 1830 sons Timothy, Martin, Patrick, James, Cornelius, Thomas all came to Parramatta in Sydney, arriving from 1856 to 1863. May have been more siblings remained in Murroe.
I am visiting Limerick in May/June this year, Hope to identify their land and maybe find some related Feighlimids.
So we could be cousins.
Does any of this ring a bell.
Regards,
Flemmo

Hi Flemmo

Thanks for your info. It would be great if you and your Flemings were relatives.
I haven't found out much more, but this is a little bit extra.

William and Ellen Fleming's marriage on 25 Jan. 1868. He was 32 and she was 26. The witnesses were Timothy Fleming and Margaret McNamara. Roman Catholic Chapel of Boher.

David Fitzgibbon was baptised 10 August 1878 at Mongfune Parish/District Murroe & Boher.

I hope you have lots of luck with your visit to Limerick. Please let us know how you get on.

Regards, Marie
