James & Mary Fitzgerald, Migrants from Co. Limerick to NSW in 1854
« on: Thursday 18 January 18 07:41 GMT (UK) »
James Fitzgerald (ca 1813-1897), his wife Mary Malone (ca 1828-1903) and their two young children Thomas & Ellen arrived in Sydney in Oct 1854 on "Caroline".  The ship's passenger list is hard to read but James, a farm labourer, may have come from Kilcornan, where daughter Ellen was born ca 1853.   His father may have also been named James.   After a time in the Kiama District of NSW, they moved to & settled in the Lismore District, in northern NSW.
Any other information on their background in Co. Limerick would be appreciated.

Give a man a record and you feed him for a day.
Teach a man to research, and you feed him for a lifetime.

If you click on the link here you will see the land next to him is Patt Fitzgerald's

Hi hallmark, myluck! & dathai,
Your assistance is much appreciated.
Perhaps the Currahchase landholder in 1850, Patt Fitzgerald was an older brother or the father of James.
If the small acreages belonging to Fitzgerald & his neighbour, Allen were surrounded by the de Vere lands, their properties may now be part of Curraghchase Forest Park, acquired by the Forestry Division.
Kind regards,
Kevin
