Searching for information on Michael Fitzpatrick and his wife Mary (?). A history of immigration to New Brunwick, Canada indicate the following: Michael Fitzpatrick(age 28) and Mary Fitzpatrick came to Canada in 1827 with their two children, James Fitzpatrick (age about 6) and Catherine Fitzpatrick (age about 2). This history indicates the family was from County Waterford. I am seeking assistance in how I might go about searching for records such as: Birth or Baptismal record for Michael Fitzpatrick around year 1799. Marriage Record for Michael Fitzpatrick and Mary around years 1816-1820 Birth or Baptismal record for James Fitzpatrick around year 1821 Birth or Baptismal record for Catherine Fitzpatrick around year 1825 This is my first foray into genealogy research in Ireland. Most of my experience has been here in the States and Canada. Any assistance as to where I might begin would be of great help. Thanks for your help. Sean Fitzpatrick, Sterling, Massachusetts

Hi Betty,sending this to the list as well: I do know that our last Prendergast in Lismore died in 1962 and there was supposedly no other living relations in Waterford. I find it interesting that you mention an emigration date of "1903" as my Bridie O'Donnell of Lismore left on the SS Campania from Queenstown that year and that shortly after she married Gerald PRENDERGAST of Lismore who I found not in NYC but in Jersey City as a cooper circa 1900. I am switching over to a laptop and so my files are a little jumbled but here is a list of the deaths of my PRENDERGAST family (as related by gm Josephine Prendergast dau. of Gerald and Bridie who was born NYC raised in Lismore) Gm was at early stages of alzheimers when she gave this info and do not have records to verify but here goes: 1)Thomas PRENDERGAST married Mary (Coleman) farm was in CARRIGNAGOUR (across from the oGORMANs still there)they were born circa 1850;Mary Prendergast died June 11, 1940 Cappoquin, Lismore Their PRENDERGAST Children born after 1870s: 2)Gerald b. d. NYC Feb. 23, 1943 2)John (Jack) d.Lismore June 24, 1960 2)REv. Thomas F. d. NYC July 3, 1955 2)Ellen(Eileen) d.NYC May 13, 1934 married Reidy 2)KATE d.Lismore April 26, 1955 spinster 2)MARGARET maggie d. Lismore Nov. 6, 1962 spinster 2)Minnie married Cleary (no emigration/death info) I think I need to get some death cert. from Waterford to get birth dates for the above.

My husband's gf and gm both came to the states in 1903 and I do know, from family lore and a legal paper ( pertaining to a will) sent from Lismore, in July of 1955, that Patrick Prendergast, my husband's gf, was sent correspondence in care of his sister Margaret Prendergast, at 100 Knollwood Road, Shorthills, New Jersey. I feel it possible if not probable that this line of Prendergasts did spread out into NY and also Chicago, IL. In the 1955 correspondence it was stated; " Margaret Prendergast, was the daughter John Prendergast, a spinster, living on Main Street, Lismore in the county of Waterford, she was predeceased by her brothers and by all of her lineal ancestors. As a results of such inquires, ( Patrick Prendergast) along with twenty-four other, have been found to be the next of kin." Amount of check was 18 pounds, six shillings and six pence. John Prendergast, her father, was a child of Kate and William Prendergast. When we were in Cappoquin in "96" we were taken by James Sweeney, at that time in his late 70's and living with his wife Betty, at Mt. Melleray Gates, up to the "Vee" and around to where we were told was the old Prendergast Place. Do to lack of time and rain we didn't get to see anything of a house, but were shown housing for cattle. At that time there were a few live stock being housed in whitewashed cement cubicles, resembling open faced sheds. Hope this isn't too confusing. Best regards, Betty

Hi Betty and Nancy...I have been in touch with both of you before and am glad you may have found a connection between the O'Donnells and Prendergasts of Cappoquin.

Hi!, I'm looking for info on Mahone's from Waterford. Daniel Mahone born approx. 1700 and brother Willis. Came to York County Virginia, America, (not exactly sure what year). Daniel's wife's name was Hattie. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Greetings Listers I am seeking the home parish of Jeremiah LAHEY, his brother, Patrick and close relatives, maybe even brothers, John and James Lahey. They may have emigrated to the US from the border area between County Waterford and County Cork. James and John were born in the early 1830s; James states on his naturalization papers that he arrived at the Port of New York, November, 1853. Patrick and Jeremiah were born in the early 1840s and emigrated to the US, (Alton, Illinois) in the early 1860s. The only thing I am sure of is they didn't enter through the port of New Orleans and mosey up the Mississippi River--there was a war going on. Next on the wishlist is the home parish of Walter POWERS and his siblings...family tradition says he came from County Waterford, but the surname Powers or Power is probably the most common in Waterford. :-( I think the siblings who migrated to the US in the 1850s were: John born 20 June, 1826 Patrick ? born 1827 Bridget ? born about 1831 Walter, born about 1833 Walter Powers wife was Ellen McCARTHY, thought to have been born March 1846. Two brothers and three sisters also lived in or near Alton, Illinois in 1907 when she died--but they are all unnamed in her obituary. All it says is she was born in County Waterford. Not a lot to go on, is there? Jane Lahey

Melleray, Waterford, Ireland John was the first of the family to come to Massachusetts from Ireland. He came with his siblings Patrick, Kate and Laurence O'Donnell. They left a red headed sister behind in Ireland. John settled in Boston, Mass. where he married and raised a family. He suffered a stroke as a young man and lost his memory. His son Louie took him back to Ireland on Doctor's orders to see if it would help him. When they returned he was better but had lost his Irish brogue. It was such a struggle to get here, that the family didn't talk much about their early days in Ireland. He was a professional dancer in Ireland.

Frank, You might be better off simply searching under Tramore. Townlands are tiny, a couple of fields maybe and may not mean anything to locals etc Having the word Town in Townland is actually very misleading. Sometimes the townland name gets carried over to the name of an entire area but more often than not people living in an area will not know the names of the townlands around them.

Hello Listers, This is a new query John Beresford's parents were Thomas BERESFORD and Catherine AHEARN. He was born about 1821. In about 1856, in Waterford, he married Bridget Cecilia POWER, born about 1838. Her parents were John POWER and Catherine Kennedy. Her faith was Catholic his was not. They had 10 children, named Maurice, Mary Ann, Kathleen, Thomas, Margaret (my ggrandmother, born 1864 in Seskinan), Alice Louise, Annie, Bridget, Henry and John. In 1852 John went to Melbourne, Australia and maybe found some gold. His occupation on the ship is listed as agricultural labourer. He returned and married Bridget in 1856. In 1880, aged nearly 60, he packed up his family and they emigrated to Melbourne. The mother and most of the children travelled on the Loch Sloy, with John and one son travelling separately. John died aged 68 years in 1889. He was working on the railways and had an accident. They have many descendants. I would like to know exactly where they came from. Family lore says that Alice's place of birth was "Burrucall" also in Seskinan. Any information would be appreciated. Many thanks, Pat. -----Original Message----- From: Christina Hunt [mailto:Ninah@carolina.rr.com] Sent: Friday, 3 January 2003 5:23 To: IRL-WATERFORD-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [WATERFORD] ROLL CALL (surname here) Well, January is here and it is time to tell everyone who you are looking for.
