You suggest Mary's birthplace was either Eire or New York.

Do you know roughly when she went to the US? As a child with her whole family? Or later in life?

Found out she was born in new York 13/10 /1908, brothers paddy Fitzgerald tommy sisters Elizabeth - eily may, eily married name galvin... 2nd cousins of mine pj - tommy Mary and patricia galvin her brothers and sisters were born in kerry

Angela...I am still trying to understand who it is your after looking for....

You have a Mary Fitzgerald b NY 1908 her bros. were Paddy Tommy Eliz. Eily Mai.

Were the bros and sister's also born NY.
Did the family return to Ireland (Co Kerry)
Do you know the names of the Fitzgerald Parents and what about the Galvins..??


Are you certain Eily Mai married Tommy and not Joe Galvin....?

EILY MAI married Joe galvin children were pj tommy patricia and Mary... my grandmother died in 1984 in Maidenhead but was born in new York her siblings were born in Co kerry so I guess they returned after sometime to Ireland..

Angela....

Given you had an address for Dromkeen Causeway Co.Kerry this would likely be the deaths and Burials of Eily Mai and Joe...don't know if you already have the details....

Joe Galvin date of death June 19 1987 (Married) aged 62

I'm not sure i'm following this- who is your Grandmother that died in 1984?

Evening AustinQ....

Still don't know if I am going back forward or sideways with this one...!!

Can you check to see if there is as burial for a Patrick Galvin and Ellen Galvin (nee Riordan) I believe they may have been Joe's parents...Dromkeen East Causeway.
My records only go from 1974

AustinQ...My guess it is Mary Theresa Fitzgerald b 1908 NY.

The record that I posted above is from Ancestry- despite being labelled 1898- 2010, the link is from the same place I suspect you used (the Galvins showing are the ones you posted:

http://www.kerrylaburials.ie/en/SearchBurial.aspx

The only Fitzgerald registered:

Causeway Fitzgerald Jermiagh Jerry Dromkeen East Causeway 04/01/2008

AustinQ...Thank you.. and yes I guess they must be and Jerry. was the only Fitzgerald I found.

My grandmother was Mary teresa law her maiden name was Fitzgerald, her brothers and sisters were born in kerry the address was dromkeen causway with my great grandmother , Eiji may married Joe galvin and resided at the address with there children when my great grandmother died. :-S

Angela...What was your great grandmother/fathers name ?

Are you wanting to find the Fitzgerald ancestors or their descendants ?

There surnames was Fitzgerald, as there children until marriage..my nan also, she was born in new York but I don't know how long she lived there, l have been told that my great granfather owned a shop in new york city they lived above the shop before returning to Ireland, I know her sisters and brothers were born in Ireland. I'm would love to find out the ancestry my second cousins the galvins still live there, I lost contact with them in 1982 <3

Angela....It is the Christian names of Mary's Eily Mai's parents that I was looking for...It will be on her marriage Cert..at least her father's will be.
