Find this Place Name please
« on: Sunday 17 April 11 21:41 BST (UK) »
Hello All
I have a marriage cert that gives an address of GAILY KNOCKROUGHY
does anyone know where this may have been please.

Area - DUBLIN (COI) , Parish/Church/Congregation - ST. GEORGE
Address = GAILY KNOCKROUGHY on 27 June 1864
THE GROOM LIVED ON PHIBSBOROUGH DUBLIN AND THE BRIDE LIVED IN BAGGOT STREET.
THEIR FATHERS WERE FARMERS AND I THINK THIS ADDRESS MAY HAVE BEEN WHERE THE FARMS WERE
FITZGERALD and PURDUE are the names.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thank You

Hi lord-ed,

I have this same marriage certificate - part of my family history.  I believe "Knockroughy" could be Knockrough in Limerick.  Any further information on this would be appreciated.
Many thanks.

Can't see anything by that name on Irish Place names - take a look at the link
http://www.irish-place-names.com/

What are their father's names?

Co. Limerick civil parishes list
http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/irl/LIM/Limerickcppage.html

Don’t know if there's any connection to your Fitzgerald's

Tithe Applotments 1833 mentions a Fitzgerald   
Garrett & widow   Knockrough
http://www.rootschat.com/links/018lo/

Townland Knockrough parish Knockrainy county Limerick
click on surname Fitzgerald
http://www.rootschat.com/links/018ln/

Have you checked the 1861 census for Ireland to see what address is given for either family?

ADDED

ok have the father's name as f/s search gives some detail of the marriage
Thomas FITZGERALD father Francis to Eliza PURDUE father Thomas
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FGZ3-TQ4

So perhaps the above Garrett Fitzgerald has no connection to your Fitzgerald family
