Posted on: FITZGERALD Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/surnames/f/i/FITZGERALD/queries/157 Surname: FITZGERALD, MCINERNEY, MULVIHILL ------------------------- My G-Grandfather Michael FITZGERALD was born in 1852 or 1853 (US Census and Death Cert. differ) in the Kilkee area of Co. Clare, Ireland, and emigrated in 1872 to the U.S. He lived first in Elmira, NY and Southport, NY, then from approx 1886 until death in 1932 in Snedekerville, Columbia Twp., Bradford Co., PA, just below the NY border. Wife, Honora McINERNEY, b. 1857 in Kilkee or Kilrush area of Co. Clare, also emigrated in 1872. They most likely married in Elmira, NY area in 1877-78, but I haven't searched for the details on that. Honora's brother Michael McINERNEY also emigrated from Co. Clare to the US in 1872. His wife was Mary FITZGERALD, presumably related to the Fitzgeralds from Kilkee/Kilrush. Michael FITZGERALD's brother James FITZGERALD, b. 1862 in Co. Clare, emigrated to Elmira, NY in 1886. His wife was probably Catherine, b. January 1865 in Ireland, and married about 1888. Michael FITZGERALD's brother Thomas T. FITZGERALD, b. March 1865 in Co. Clare, emigrated to Elmira in 1882. He married Mary, born in May 1870 in Ireland, in Elmira in about 1888. Thomas died of a heart attack while on a visit to Kilkee, Co. Clare in August 1904 and was buried there. Michael, Thomas, and James FITZGERALD's parents were Patrick FITZGERALD and Johanna MULVIHILL. I am not sure of the correct spelling for Johanna - the surname was mispelled on Michael's death certificate, and the given name may be corrupted too. These men all worked in railway car shops or rail track maintenance in the US. I would appreciate any information about these folks and relations. Also I would like to connect with others researching FITZGERALDs and MCINERNEYs and MULVIHILLs from the Kilkee/Kilrush area. Cheers, Anne Green, Columbia, MD
