FITZSIMONS of Manor Kilbride/Ballylow, Co. Wicklow, Ireland

smg2ct — 19 Oct 2007 5:16:39 GMT

Margaret Mary Fitzsimons, born 8 Sept 1896, married my mother’s father, Francis (Frank) Healy in 1931 and they lived in Blessington, Co. Wicklow, all their lives. She died 26 November 1953.

Margaret Mary had seven siblings, of which I have little information:
• Patrick (b. 16 March 1882; died 26.11.1957 in Manor Kilbride; no info on any spouse or family);
• Martha (b. 16.9.1883; died 21.10.1954; married to John Browne; lived in Manor Kilbride; no info on any offspring);
• Anna Marie (b. 11.2.1886; became Dominican nun, Sr. Mary Laurence);
• John James (b. 4.11.1887; d. 4.4.1960; believed to have remained unmarried; lived in Manor Kilbride);
• Edward (Ned) James; b. 28.4.1890; d. age 29 during flu epidemic; may have had a son, Owen Fitzsimons; I have no info on any spouse or other offspring);
• Christopher (Christy) Thomas (b. 5.5.1892; d. 23.1.1976, Manor Kilbride; unmarried);
• Brigid Catherine (b. 16.4.1894; died approx age 15)

The father of these eight children was Eugene or possibly Owen/Eoghain Fitzsimons and was married to Anna/Ann/Annie Murphy.

Eugene/Owen’s father was, I’m told, either John or Robert Fitzsimons of Ballylow, Wicklow, who may have originally come from Scotland. Brothers John and Robert Fitzsimons are shown as living on same land in separate houses in 1853, as per ‘Primary Valuation of Ireland’ document. John appears to have died around 1868.

I have contact with the descendents of Eugene/Owen’s brother, Edward, who married an O’Neill, so I have some limited info on those descendents, but they have little info and even less interest in genealogy, that I have discovered thus far. I am not aware of any other siblings Edward and Eugene/Owen may have had.

As per my mother, her mother, Margaret Mary died of a stroke in 1953 while talking with the local priest. Her husband, who died in 1937 of cancer of the throat, was the local rate collector (or whatever they called it; he collected the taxes door to door) and his wife, Margaret, took over for him in that job after he died. Frank Healy liked to play the fiddle.

I would very much like to learn more about my antecedents and to make contacts with any relatives in Ireland or elsewhere. Although I am American, I plan to be in Ireland throughout 2008 and hope to make many contacts and increase my data. If you can help, I would love to hear from you.

Also, the Fitzsimons of Wicklow crisscross the Healy family there in numerous ways and I have info on that side as well if anyone seeks anything specific.

Thanks!

I'm looking for anybody who would be related to Charles Stuart Parnell FitzSimons from Dublin. He is the father of Maureen O'Hara ( FitzSimons) .

JAMES FITZSIMONS Dublin 1876 - Carroll and Boyd?

lisafitzsimons222 — 14 Jan 2008 1:06:21 GMT

My great grandfather James Fitzsimons was born in Ireland in 1876 (place of birth unknown but thought to be Dublin)
He married a Florence Carroll (Born c1879)
We believe Sarah Carroll (born 1839 Wicklow) was the mother of Florence and her sister Martha (born c1883)
James & Florence had 3 boys my grandfather Charles (Sonny) born c1907, Albert c1908 and James c1910.
They are shown as living on the Ballybough Rd in Dublin in 1911 (census)
It is understood James Snr died at sea and that Florence died shortly after...And that Martha her sister then took the 3 boys in. She married a William Boyd (born c1877)
Any help or information with our search would be much appreciated!!
Many thanks.

Fitzsimons- Westmeath to Kane Co.,IL @1850

gocken317 — 4 Sep 2006 12:26:43 GMT

My great-greatgrandfather was Nicholas Simons, born about 1815 in Irelend, who came to Kane Co., IL between 1845 and 1850. In 1850 there is a Patrick Simons, born about 1817 and Cady, born about 1844, both born in Ireland just below him on the census. In the 1860 census Patrick is listed as James and Cady as Christopher. On James' tombstown his last name is listed as Fitz Simons, the county he is from in Ireland is listed as Westmeath but the parish is hard to read, it starts with a T, next letter is either u or a and there is a b or an h a few letters down. May have had a sister Ellen, born about 1825, who married Patrick Malone. They came over about 1851. In the 1870 census there is a Michael Simons, born about 1802 in Ireland, living with the Malones. Any info would be appreciated. I also like to hear from cousins.

Any information at all appreciated. Thanks!

Frank Fitzsimons — 10 Jan 2000 4:06:33 GMT

When your family members get to Fore, stop by at the pub. Its owner Beatrice Fagin is a Fitzsimons by birth too. They, alongside the Fore Branch, own most of the land thereabouts. She will tell you everything that you need to know. All about the IRA days and before.
My Grandfather's brother was an intelligence officer who served in the British Army in WW1. Apparently he fought in Arabia with the famous Lawrence. When the brother got home he trained the local IRA. He ended up as a school teacher in Ampleforth, England. Earlier he had taught my Grandfather and was known as a very strict teacher. He is the teacher in the local novel, well known in Ireland, called " The Valley of the Squinting Windows". When you see Beatrice tell her that my father is Barthomelew the son of Captain Joe from Mullingar. Joe was in fact a younger son born at Fore.

My father told me that when he visited Fore in the 1940s they still had a few plates with crests of arms on them. He also tells me that there is an ancient Norman burial place no bigger than two rooms in a field at Fore which no one disburbs. It is known as "The Garden". The family lost a little land during Cromwellian times due to their remaining Catholic. My father went to Rome in 1975 for the canonisation of Oliver Plunkett. I can't remember relationship exactly but his mother or his grandmother was a Fitzsimons. ( I can establish the exactness of this if you want ). Anyway it was enough to get an invite. Michael Collins's secretary was also a Fitzsimons before she married. I don't think that she was closely related to the Fore Branch though.
Regards, Frank

Michael Fitzsimons(c.1858) married Margaret Burns/Byrnes

janet harding — 24 Jan 2002 4:04:22 GMT

My g.g.grandfather Michael Fitzsimons married Margaret Burns/Byrnes in Ireland sometime around 1880. They had the following children:
Mary Ann (k/aNance) (1882) born in Ireland
Margaret (k/aMaggie) (1884) born in Sunderland, Co. Durham, England
James J (1886) born in Ireland
Henry (1888) born in Ireland
Bridget (k/a Biddy) (1890) born in Sunderland
Catherine (k/aKitty) (1892) born in Sunderland
Susan (k/a Susie) (1894) born in Sunderland
Elizabeth (k/a Lizzie)(place and date of birth unknown)

My late great-uncle, George Stace, had been to Ireland to visit relatives of Michael and Margaret but unfortunately no-one living now knows where he went. Some relatives also visited the family in Sunderland and took photographs back with them to Ireland of the above family - including one of my great-grandmother Bridget and her sisters with rags in their braided hair.

I know this is a long-shot but has anyone any memories of any of this and can give me some assistance. I have looked at the indexes but cannot find a marriage.

Kindest regards,
Janet

Fitzsimmons - O'Beirne - Ballard

Patty O'Beirne — 29 Dec 2004 4:14:26 GMT

Looking for any information I can find on my Grandmother, Veronica Fitzsimmons, married to Charles O'Beirne (1922?). She passed a few years before I was born - I think around 1946. "Ronnie", as she was always called, passed rather young, possibly cancer. They had 2 children - John (Jack), my father, and Donna. They owned a 2-flat building at 8721 S. Aberdeen Street in Chicago that they purchased around 1930. I remember hearing that Ronnie was very active assisting the Dominican Sisters of St. Kilian's Church. I have no idea where Veronica came from or who her parents were or if she had any brothers or sisiters. I "think" she may have been related in some way to the Ballard family but can't make a connection. Any fragment of information would be very much appreciated.

I have found a lot more out about Thomas Fitzsimons. He pursued a mercantile career in Philadelphia, and married a woman named Catherine Meade, whose father was Robert Meade. His firm (he shared with his brother-in-law), George Meade and Company, donated 5,000 pounds to the war effort.
He was a member of the first, second and third Continental Congress, but did not get elected to the fourth.
In 1781 he was one of the founders of the Bank of North America, and help organize and had a directorship in the Insurance Company of North America.

Please, anyone who is also related to Thomas Fitzsimons, write back...I need links...

patty VAN FLEET — 27 Aug 2001 11:22:50 GMT

I am in possession of a letter from the above to her brother, either my Ggrandfather Albert Alfred Fitzsimmons or his son, my Grandfather Harold Fitzsimmons. It is dated April 7, 1927. It is written on the stationary of Arthur Stewart,2970 Sheridan Rd. Chicago.
The letter is about the death of a brother, possibly Jim or Mim. I can't quite make out the writing too well. He died on March 28, 1927. He suffered from heat prostration and became more and more feeble. Apparently he had been living with a sister, Anne and Billy in LeSalle (? don't know where that is). He was buried with his parents in LeSalle. Any ideas on family, cemetary?
My Albert and his son Harold, lived in the Kansas City, Missouri area. They came from Illinois and some lived in Washington State. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This letter is my only link....
Thanks so much,

Mick Fitzsimons — 28 Dec 2001 8:34:55 GMT

John Fitzsimons and his wife, Mary O'Doherty arrived in Melbourne Australia, 15-Jan-1841.
They came from Co.Meath. John's parents were John and Rose Cloyne and Mary's parents were Henry O'Doherty and Ellen Cloyne.

John Mary took up dairy farming at Templestowe, Victoria. They names their property "Summerhill". I have visited Summerhill in Co.Meath with no luck.

The unusual name of "CLOYNE" in both families should help to pinpoint them, but Cloyne is an unusual and elusive name.

John and Mary must have had siblings. Ring any bells with anyone.

Even the slightest of hunches will be appreciated, as research has been at a standstill for 15 tears.

Greetings, I 've hit a snag. Several years back all of my preliminary research was lost or seriously damaged in a house fire. I am just now able to resume my search. I tried to post earlier today and it did not go through, so I'm trying again now.

I'm searching for my father's side of the family. I have some conflicting dates so I am only posting years here. I would really appreciate any help if these names ring any bells. Thanks.

The Fitzsimmons(??sp.) family supposedly came from TN, NC, SC and GA. Sandy is my grandfather and I know he lived and is buried along with his wife in Dalton, Whitfield Co., GA. I'm told that their parents are buried there also, but cemetery wasn't very helpful with records.

Sandy Fitzsimmons Armstrong, b: 1891 d:1955, m:1914 to Daisey Pearl (Mae ??) Henry Gentry b:1890 d:1966

Sandy's Parents: Thomas A (llen??) Armstrong b: 1850 d:1907 m: to Virginia Louise Fitzsimmons b:1862 d:1910

Pearl's Parents: Rufus Allen Gentry b:1854 d:1925 m: 1885 to Mary Ann (Annie) Barbara Pierce (Pearce???) b:1867 d:1961

I've been told stories as a child that we were a distant relative of a signer of the Constitution. I have no solid info and am trying to develop a paper trail. Have yet to locate on a census. Can anyone offer any suggestions or do you recognize this family?

My warmest regards for your kindness,
Dara

Thomas Fitzsimons wife Mary Ann Gallacher/Gallagher lived in Glasgow, Scotland in mid 1800s

Henderson50 — 24 Jun 2001 11:43:04 GMT

Thomas Mary Ann Fitzsimons are the parents of my grandfather's first wife. Her name was also Mary Ann she married John Henderson (born in Paisley 1855) in Glasgow on 6th February, 1883. They had a son born 5th February, 1884. He was called John after his father. Mary Ann died 29/08/1900 young John was cared for by his maternal grandparents (Thomas Mary Ann Fitzsimons). My grandfather went to Australia remarried but the only knowledge we have of young John Henderson, after that, is on my aunt's birth certificate, where he is noted as a 16 year old issue from his first marriage. As he was my father's(unknown) half brother my uncle I am very keen to learn all I can about him hopefully his descendants!! If you can help me please feel free to email me on nette_50@hotmail.com Jeanette Bonnici (nee Henderson).

Mary Ann Fitzsimons married John Henderson in Glasgow, Scotland, on 6th February, 1883

Henderson50 — 24 Jun 2001 11:43:04 GMT

I am the granddaughter of John Henderson, from his second marriage, to Joann McDougall in Victoria Australia, but I would like to hear from descendants of the son grandpa Henderson had from his first marriage to Mary Ann Fitzsimons. The child was also called John, was born 5th February,1884--one day before his parents first wedding anniversary!! He would have been a half brother to my father his siblings, a (half?) uncle to me!! None of the family in Australia (that are still alive anyway), know anything about John JNR. I know he lived at least to 16years as he was listed on my aunt's birth certificate as her father's issue from a previous marriage. I believe he was cared for by his maternal grandparents after his mother's death (29/08/1900). Their names were Thomas Fitzsimons Mary Ann Gallacher/Gallagher they also lived in Glasgow, Scotland but were both born in Ireland I believe. If you know about young John Henderson or his Fitzsimons relatives, I would love to hear from you. Please feel free to email me on nette_50@hotmail.com Jeanette Bonnici (nee Henderson).
