Edward migrated to Newfoundland around 1840, married a Bridget Doyle....". I have some info on two brothers, James & Edward, in Western Bay, Newfoundland referring to a document as noted by a story told by another resident - "Amongst other late arrivals were two Fitzgerald brothers, Edward and James. They took their claim to the rear and east of Larry Doyle. James was better known as "Foxy Jim - the Fiddler" who proved himself in this art with marked proficiency,..Edward had one son, John". James was born about 1825, not sure where born, and went on to have about 10 children. I don't have any further details for Edward. However, other areas of Newfoundland to research would be - Bell Island; Bonavista; Harbour Grace/Conception Bay North; Holyrood/Conception Bay North/Harbour Main and St. John's. Two sites to check into would be: > Newfoundland (Nfld)Grand Banks - ngb.chebucto.org >> Newfoundland Canada GenWeb - nl.canadagenweb.org Good luck! :) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
