Limerick / Liston family Caherelly & Lisnagry
« on: Saturday 28 June 14 06:28 BST (UK)  »
I am researching the family of Michael Liston and Catherine Bennett. They lived at Caherelly until about 1870s then moved to Lisnagry. They were married 14 Feb 1858 in Caherelly.  They had lots of children, my Grandmother Maria (Mary Ellen) was the youngest, born 1876. I have records of the births of most of the children but don't know how to find who the daughters married and when any of them died or migrated etc.
I am wondering if anyone knows anything about this family.

Thank you, Marie (from Australia)

Limerick / William McCarthy
« on: Monday 01 November 10 06:07 GMT (UK)  »
A William McCarthy died Jul - Sep 1925 in Limerick aged 18. I found this information on FamilySearch. 
 i would like to find out his parent's names because if they are Mary Ellen Liston and John McCarthy it would solve a family mystery. It was always thought that he migrated to USA with his father but I think he may have stayed in Limerick.
I'm not sure that the death certificate would show the info I need. I'm hoping that someone might point me in the right direction.

Limerick / Fitzgibbon/Liston/Fleming/Bennett

Hello,

I would be very grateful for any information about relatives around Limerick or elsewhere.  My grandparents came to Australia from Limerick about 1915. They both died in 1930 leaving 2 sons as orphans.

My grandparents were:

David Fitzgibbon, born about 1880 in Murroe, Limerick. His parents were William Fitzgibbon and Ellen Fleming.

Mary Ellen Liston, born about 1878 in Athlucca, Limerick. Her parents were Michael Liston and Katherine Bennett.

It was Mary Ellen's second marriage. She was married to John McCarthy in 1907and had a son, William. They moved to America. She left her son there with his father and went back to Ireland, married David Fitzgibbon and migrated to Australia. 

I think David Fitzgibbon was a game keeper in Ireland. They were both Catholic.

I have a copy of the registration of the marriage of David's parents, William Fitzgibbon and Ellen Fleming in 1868. Their  fathers were Mick? Fitzgibbon and John Fleming.

I would love to know more. Is anyone doing any research into these families?

Regards,

Marie, Australia.
