People in this family group
Joanna Griffin
Dates not recorded
Joanna Griffin married Maurice Fitzgerald and five children of theirs are recorded, born at Caheratrant in Ventry between 1859 and 1872 — which places her own birth around 1832, though no record of it has been found. Two of her children have exact dates from the Irish baptism index: Patrick on 16 March 1867 and Ellen on 18 July 1870. Her marriage is unfindable and always will be in the civil records: it was about 1858, and Irish civil registration of Catholic marriages did not begin until 1864.
