Hello
I have been trying to trace any relatives of my Great x 3 Grandfather Edmund Fitzmaurice.  I had not been on Roots before so I have had to sign in to reply. You are the first person I know with a connection

Mary Fitzmaurice was Elizabeth's mother. Mary is on the  1851 Census and her sister Elizabeth Williams.  She would have been at her daughter's marriage.

The 3 children were baptised in Ireland and I have proof of David's baptism in Tralee as he is my direct line.  He died quite quite young.

I also have all the documentation of his exams and admittance in to his profession of Excise officer which I obtained from The National Archives.  We have had to transcribe it as it was difficult to read

There is a puzzle as to whether they split up or Edmund died.  On the 2 census I have for Mary she says she is a widow but she died in 1861.  On the Excise docu.... at the very top is scribbled- retired but not very clearly and a date.

Elizabeth was baptised in Cork (census ) and Edmund in Formoy, Cork(census)  I am having great difficulty finding any Birth or Marriage for Edmund Fitzmaurice but I keep searching.

Could you tell me how you know he went to Waterford as I do not have that info.

I can find some deaths in Ireland that may have been Edmunds but non in England but it was the time of the potato famine.

There were only 3 children;Elizabeth, David and Edmund although Mary's sister is on the 1861 census. Her name is Elizabeth.  They are not on the 1841 Census so may have been in Ireland.

I hope that helps and if you need anymore info let me know
Regards
