Much appreciated. Ben & Barbara would be my ggg grandparents on my Mom's side of the family. Rumour has it that once George was a bit older, Barbara left George in Saint John and she went to the US somewhere in the New England area. She did travel back and forth to Saint John for a while. It is believed she died in the US but I don't know where or when. If you ever find anything on Ben & Barbara in Ireland or Scotland I'd be forever grateful. I'm assuming Ben died as she was listed as a widow when she arrived in Saint John but you just never know! Thanks again Barb.

Looking for possible link to my FitzGerald ancestor - parents, siblings, cousins Anna Maria FitzGerald, born 1824 in Dublin County, in husband's obituary said to be of Knavenstown/Knavinstown. She possibly went primarily by the name Maria. Emigrated to USA between 1840 - 1851 (Hollidaysburg, Blair County, Pennsylvania) where she married William Cowell Bayley on April 1, 1851. Anna Maria died in 1887, William in 1889. Father is Robert FitzGerald, must be born about 1800 in Ireland. There was a Robert FitzGerald who was brother to a Charles FitzGerald who supposedly got Rathgar. Their father was Charles, and his father John. The time period fits. Robert was said to have gotten Knavinstown. (I don't really know what this means, but because his name is Robert, my Anna's father's name, and the town Knavinstown is mentionned, and it is the correct time period, I wonder if they connect..) Does anyone have any information about this Robert and Charles FitzGerald and extended families? Does anyone know what the Knavinstown connection would mean?
