Good day My great g'father Thomas (age 19) of County Tyrone emigrated to New Zealand arriving in Lyttleton aboard the 'Bombay' on 18 Aug 1866. A Mag. A. FITZPATRICK (age 17) was aboard the same ship. Another passenger list transcription refers to a Rose FITZPATRICK aged 16 instead. Thomas settled initially in Pigeon Bay, married Ellen CONNOLLY (b c 1852) of Co Galway and had four sons. Mag A/Rose may have married a Denis MAHONEY/O'MAHONY. The family is RC. Thomas' death certificate, informed probably by his wife, states his father as Thomas, mother unknown, and place of birth as Amar (sic). I've started with the assumption that this is Omagh in Co Tyrone, and less likely Co Amargh. But my various online searches find few if any Fitzpatrick's coming up in Tyrone. IFHS has 2 births about the right time but at this stage I'm loath to part out 10 Euros with the paucity of starting information they give you. I've some Griffiths and Tithe Applotement references - 3 I think. Does anyone have any of these family lines in their trees or suggest another starting point or avenue?
