I have recently gotten information on my 2 x great grandfather, Robert Daly Fleury, indicating he was born in Dublin.  I have searched around and found that there is a Robert Fleury who OWNED the newspaper "The Mail" published in Waterford that ran a lot of stories supporting Bishop Robert Daly.  Robert Fleury sold "The Mail" and moved to Dublin.  He is a barrister, admitted to the bar in 1818.

Further directory searching shows some type of relationship with the Daly's and Robert A Fleury as he is found living in buildings they own and also living with one of the Daly family in directories. 

I believe he may be MY Robert Daly Fleury's father due to many relationships I am seeing and the commonality of the printing industry, BUT am having NO luck finding names of the children of Robert Anthony (AKA Antoine) Fleury and Henrietta Fitzamaurice.

IF I am on the right track Robert Anthony Fleury's father is the well known George Louis Fleury from Waterford.  1741 – 1827, married to Isabella Weekes 1771 – 1838.

One would THINK with such a well known family it would be easy to find a list of his children, but I am having no success.  A friend helping me research this issue has found but 2 female children so far ---I know of two children born between 1821 and 1837 (Isabella and Frances).

Being in the US and trying to find info in Ireland is difficult indeed. 

If anyone can point me to a good place in Ireland to email to try to find out more about who Robert Anthony's children were I sure would appreciate it.  Due to the paucity of Irish records, even though this family is VERY well known, I am really having a tough time tracking down the children of Robert.

A LOT is known about the ancestry further back, but finding info on the children of Henrietta Fitzmaurice and Robert A Fleury is proving to be extremely difficult.

Thank you for ANY help anyone can give me--I have tried hiring a researcher in Dublin BUT they won't even look at anything unless I can figure out what Parish Robert Daly Fleury is from and get a more specific date of birth--not an easy task with so many COI Parishes in Dublin and only knowing he PROBABLY was born around 1834.

Thanks for any suggestions on tracking this stuff down.

Hi.  I am new to this board, and trying to find my way around.  I am searching for my Irish ancestry with no clues.  I have located my ancestors in the 1870 and 1880 census.  They indicated they were from Ireland.  The names I am trying to trace are Robert D Fleury (B-1833 in Ireland D-1875 in NY)and Isabella Fleury (B-1837 Ireland, D-unknown, but 1901 or later).  I would like to try to find local records in Brooklyn if possible...I have exausted all the info on ancestry.com.  With no clues to start, I am wondering of anyone knows what areas in Ireland Fleury family's might have settled?  I am reasonably sure they were Huguenots, as they later became members of the Episcopal church in NY (St Thomas' Church, Brooklyn, NY) If anyone knows where I can find someone to look up local brooklyn records, or regions Fleury's settled in Ireland, please let me know.  Thank you.  Joyce
