Could anyone help me with trying to find out about the Fearick family from Tuam, please?
Using British records we have got as far back as a Patrick (born c. 1796, we think, according only to an old find on FamilySearch.) and Jane Fearick, whose son John (born 1834) married a Mary Larner (I don't know where) and they moved to Lancashire. A daughter of John and Mary married a John Larner, and they moved back to Ireland. I have found Mary Ellen and John in Ballynapark, in 1901. In 1855 a Patrick and Jane Fearick were living in Togher Beg, all of five miles from where their potential granddaughter chose to live 40 years later.
This looks like too big a coincidence to be a coincidence, especially as my mother remembered going to a farm near Tuam as a girl in the 1930s. It looks to me like some strong family ties there. But ancestry.com doesn't get me any closer than just wishfully thinking that the 1855 Patrick and Jane were my great great grandparents.
Any suggestions as to how to proceed would be welcome.
