FITZMAURICE Martin - help needed

[ashe]

Hi Everyone

Have hit a brick wall with my great grandfather, Martin Fitzmaurice.

The details that I have is that he was born in Co Clare. probably about the mid 1800's. He married Ann Considine in Co Clare around the early 1870's. She also was born in Co Clare. They had two sons Michael & John, and emigrated/arrived in Australia in 1874.

I am searching for where in Co Clare that they came from.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Ashe

Michael Fitzmaurice born 23 Aug.1872 Co. Clare son of Martin & Ann (Considine). The actual birth certificate will give you an exact place of birth (townland). Alternately the marriage certificate of the parents will list their residences at the time of the marriage and father's names and occupations.
