Patrick FITZGERALD m. 1855, Mary CROTTY
We're looking for this family, whose older children were reportedly born in Waterford (county or city?).
Patrick FITZGERALD (17 Mar. 1831/6, Ireland - 24 June 1903, Northampton, Hampshire Co., MA) son of Patrick FITZGERALD & Bridget FOLEY. Patrick [Jr.] was 67 at death, per death certificate on FamilySearch.org, but he was born Mar. 1831, per the 1900 census, Northampton. He had been married 44 years as of June 1900, had migrated in 1866. He married ca. 1855, Ireland, Mary CROTTY, b. Mar. 1837, per the 1900 census, which said she had borne 14 ch., 13 living. Her birth date was probably right because that would mean she married at about 18 & had her last child in 1881 at age 44.
Children:
Margaret (26 May 1856/8 - 26 June 1943, bu. St. Bridget's Cem., Great Barrington, Berkshire, MA) m. 21 June 1878, Daniel MURPHY. The marriage was recorded at Northampton, where Margaret was listed as age 22, and at W. Stockbridge, where Margaret was 20. Censuses, in years ending in 0, usually had her age ending in 2. FindaGrave has the cemetery record, which says she was born in 1856.
Bridget, 18, m. 29 May 1878, Northampton, John McBRIDE, 21.
The above were born in Ireland, and these also may have been born there: Patrick, Dennis, James, & John.
Born in W. Stockbridge, Berks., MA: Garrett, 22 Mar. 1870, & Ellen 25 Feb. 1872.
Born in Northampton: Thomas, 1873; Mary, 1874; Anna, 1876; Michael, 1878; Nora, 1879; & Wm., 1881.
We have more information on descendants. We would mostly like to identify the family of Mary CROTTY.
