Hi I am trying to trace a member of my wifes family named Michael Fitzpatrick who was born 1883 in Killinagh.He or his family then moved to Newcastle Staffordshire England and lived there 1911.where he shows up on the 1911 census.

 

We need to know where he lived and what family he had,

Why would they have moved to England etc.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

  • Hi:

    Thank you for your query to the Ireland Reaching Out project message board.

    Can you give more details about Michael Fitzpatrick?  Did he have siblings?  What were the names of his parents?

    Kind regards,

    Jane.

  • Hi Jane thank you for your reply.

    First may i say that all that I have info on Michael Fitzpatrick who is my wifes grand father is that he shows up on a UK 1911 census living in Newcastle Staffordshire England.He is listing his date of birth as 1883 and place born as Killinagh .Co.Mayo. however on a additional census return for the same 1911 he is showing his place of birth as Keenagh Co Mayo, now to me I can only locate the Keenagh location so this is all that we have on him hence the request on the site for information if possible.

    So any assistance you can help with is appreceiated

     

    Warmest regards Alan

  • Dear Alan:

     

    Keenagh is a parish near Crossmolina, County Mayo.  I found some information about it through the Placenames Database which is available at www.logainm.ie  It is listed as Keenagh More or Keenagh Beg.  The Civil parish is Crossmolina. 

    Here is the link:

    https://www.logainm.ie/en/34283  This is Keenagh More.

     

    https://www.logainm.ie/en/34402  This is Keenagh Beg.

    I hope that this is some assistance to you. 

    Crossmolina parish registers are available through the National Library through this link

    All the best

     

    Jane.
