*COMPLETED* 1861 and 1871 Wales lookups, please
« on: Monday 18 May 09 03:22 UTC (UK) »

I am looking for information in the 1861 and 1871 UK Censuses for Wales on the family of a Margaret Fitzgerald, born in 1852 in Wales. Her obituary in Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. stated that her siblings were named Alice, Catherine, and Patrick. There was another sister who later became a nun, so I don't know her first name as a child.

Margaret emigrated to the United States in 1869, so she is not in the 1871 UK Census. But her siblings may have stayed in Wales. So I am asking if by chance Margarets siblings may still be living together in the 1871 Census in Wales. Maybe not all of Margaret's siblings had been born by the time of the 1861 Census, but were listed in 1871.

Thank you,
Larry

We're lucky - they had already arrived in Wales in 1851:

1851
HO107/2456 427 61
Llantwitvardre, Glamorgan
Tram Road

Patrick Fitzgerald, head, 35, Carpenter, b. Tipperary Ireland
Alice, wife, 25, b. do.
Catharine, dau, 1, b. do.
Mary, dau, 13, b. do.
Mary Cozane?, lodger, unm, 22, Carpenter, b. do.

There are 2 possible deaths for Patrick Fitzgerald in Cardiff registration district between 1851 and 1861:
Jun 1855 11a 162 and Dec 1856 11a 129

Sorry, I can't see any obvious match for any of them in 1871.
