Hello Rachel

So far I have only been researching the actual family of my grandmother. They seem to be separate from the Listons in Glin but could be related further back. What I put in my post earlier is all I have found as yet.
My Catherine Liston was born !9 Aug 1870 in Caherelly, Parish/District of Caherconlish, to Michael Liston and Catherine Bennett and  married Philip Burns, 7 Feb 1892 at the R.C. church in Castleconnell. She was witness at the death of her mother in 1898 in Mountshannon.

Michael Liston was a herdsman or caretaker in Caherelly when he married in 1858.
If I come across any connection to the Listons in Glin I'll be pleased to let you know.

This info is from Rootsireland.

It may be that Martin and Mortimer are the same person.

I thought that maybe someone out there may be doing research into the Listons from Limerick Co. and have come across this family, or even be related.


Thanks to a friend in Chicago, I now have  lots of info on my grandfather's Fitzgibbon side of the family, so I'm turning my attention to the Listons.

Thanks for your quick reply

Thanks very much for your reply.

I was hoping that there might be some way that I could find out if he's the right bloke without paying all that money for a certificate just to get a clue. I guess I'll probably have to eventually.

The William McCarthy that I'm interested in was born 5 Jul 1907 in Lisnagry and in the 1911 census, I think I found him living with his father's parents William and Catherine McCarthy in Lisnagry Co. Limerick. His father just vanished and his mother (my grandmother) came to Australia in 1915, died 1930. She is my father's mother. It's just an interesting mystery.

Thanks again for your trouble.

Hi Flemmo

Thanks for your info. It would be great if you and your Flemings were relatives.
I haven't found out much more, but this is a little bit extra.

William and Ellen Fleming's marriage on 25 Jan. 1868. He was 32 and she was 26. The witnesses were Timothy Fleming and Margaret McNamara. Roman Catholic Chapel of Boher.

David Fitzgibbon was baptised 10 August 1878 at Mongfune Parish/District Murroe & Boher.

I hope you have lots of luck with your visit to Limerick. Please let us know how you get on.

Regards, Marie

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.
