Life
William Fitzgerald was born at Cullane on 11 January 1877. His civil birth entry names his parents as John Fitzgerald of Cullane and Margaret Fitzgerald, formerly Fraher, and records his father's occupation as farmer. The original entry gives "Eleventh January 1877."
Our family tree names Mary Guaire as William's wife and John, also called Jack, as their son. It says that William died on 12 June 1932. No marriage or death record in this archive confirms those later claims.
The exact Cullane locality named in his birth record also remains unsettled.
How we know this: His birth and parentage are documented; his marriage, child, and death are claims recorded here only. [1]
