Michael FITZPATRICK/Kilmacow Kilkenny

[Yonks Ago]

Asking for help on how to go about on finding more on Michael FITZPATRICK b abt 1829 Kilmacow Kilkenny Ireland, have found that he was with the 103rd Regiment in India and married a Ann O'NEIL in Bombay India, don't know what year this marriage was in.  Michael and family moved to Australia abt 1867.
Think that Michael's father was named also Michael and that his mother was  Mary KENNEDY.
Would any one know of this family, have this family within their tree?
Don't know if Ann was born in india!
Many thanks

For India records try the database in www.fibis.org

For Irish records, the church records for Kilkenny are on www.irish-roots.ie. These records are trancripts and are not complete. It costs €5 to view each record but searching is free.

Your best bet might be the death certs of both Michael & Ann in Australia as they often contain a lot of genealogical info.

Agho,

Sorry for not answering before this!
death records in Australia in that time frame only gives the basic info and would not tell me where born, parents ect.
Thank you

Hello Yonks. Michael was (is) my GGgrandfather. My data seems to match exactly with what you recorded here some years ago now. I do have a little more on him, but not on the big questions. Are you still interested in him?

Hello Mikeyman. Yes, I saw that Rosa record, and was initially tempted to think it was our lady. But I have not found any other reference to 'Rosa', and yet with several of the registrations of their subsequent children she is recorded as 'O'Neil' (with various spellings). For the eleven child birth registrations I have seen she is variously named "Ann Mary O'Neill", "Anne O'Neil", "Mary Anne O'Neil", "Ann O'Neil", "Anna O'Neil", or "Anna Mariae Oneill".

Hello again Yonks Ago.

Wow, that was quick - 4 years after the original message, and you bounce back to my reply within 35 minutes! Awesome.

I am from W.A., where Michael settled and lived out his life. But I now live in Auckland, N.Z. I descend through Michael's oldest daughter Elizabeth Mary Josephine.

Why are you going after the Rosa possibility? I have discounted it, primarily because the Anne Marie that came to Fremantle with Michael never seems to have mentioned "Rosa", but in all (I think) the registrations of her children, she calls herself Anne Marie O'neil - or some variation of that name, never Rosa. Have you got some extra info that makes you think the Rosa marriage is to our Michael?

Hi Tom,

I'm just going by what Mikeyman is saying re Rosa. I have only Ann O'Neil...what Im seeking to find is more on Ann..her parents...and siblings.

Hi Yonks,

It's been another 4 years since this thread was last added to. I wonder if you will be as quick in responding this time 

Have you managed any further findings re our Anne? I have, but not the stuff you were seeking.
