Henry Fitzgerald circa 1892 Cork

[Fitz1]

My grandfather married Alice Maud Tyler in Fulham London 27 Dec 1919.
Can anyone help me trace his records. We think that he was born in Cork around 1892 and his Fathers name was Alexander Fitzgerald according to their marriage certificate!

Have you searched for Henry & Alexander on the 1911 English and Irish census ?

A place of birth on one of these might help your search.

p.s. what was Alexander's occupation ?

Was Alexander a spring maker?

I'm not an expert on London geography.. but Battersea and the place of marriage of Fulham look quite close on the map to me.

Hi and thank you for your replies.
I have a copy of the 1911 English census, which indicates that he was a spring maker born inthe London area!
Battersea and Fulham are very close to each other. The problem is it was only hearsay within the family that they were born in Ireland, I actually dont know. So it could be him, bu8t I need to obtain some proof!

Hello Fitz1

     It's some time since you 'posted' but I just came across this entry in the St. George, North Wales, burial Register and thought it might be of interest:

30 Nov 1847 burial of Henry Fitzgerald, aged 36, of Bryncoch, Abergele (late of Mackridge House,
County of Cork)
