Hi, My cousin and I are just starting our search. We are decendents of the Fitzwilliam-> Halls. My maiden name is Hall. There looks to be a lot of activity with this name search and we would be thrilled to exchange info, although it is very limited on our part.
Best Regards, Julie Hall, of the Bothell, WA Hall's.

Hi John,

I've been told we are descendent from Ireland. I can trace my Hall side from CA, to IA, to PA, & that's where I've hit a brick wall.

Trying to find John Hall, Sr., born 1728 in Ireland, married Margaret Nesbitt, also born in Ireland, married in 1760, settled in PA.

thexxmen — 2010-01-02 22:49:54Z

Hi John,

I can trace a John Hall, Jr. for certain back to Pennsylvania. Before that, I believe his father was John Hall, Sr., or might even be William Hall. That's as far back as I can determine.

Robert

My understanding is that Arthur Fitzwilliam became Arthur Fitzwilliam Hall at that point.

The Joanna Fitzwilliam that married Philip Ballard (the only Joanna Fitzwilliam I can find) was born around 1530 (according to all the online references I can find). Eleanor Plantagenet was born in 1318.

Hello Robert

I am John Hall 1947 born North Yorkshire however I can trace my tree safely back to a Joseph Hall 1721 who married a Dorothy Bottomley in the Liversedge/Dewsbury area of West Yorkshire.

My Male Y DNA is Norse Viking. Most of these people came to England from Norway?Denmark/Sweden via Ireland and settle in the Lancashire /Westmoreland area of England adjacent to West Yorkshire.

What about your Halls Robert?

John

thexxmen — 2009-12-12 00:52:19Z

Hi Heather,

I would welcome any details since my Hall line can be traced from Southern California, back to Iowa, before that to Allegheny, Pennsylvania, & supposedly from Ireland. I'm sure that can be further traced back to England, to Arthur Fitzwilliam Hall.

Would appreciate any help.

Thank you,
Robert Hall

Fitzwilliam ---> Hall

thexxmen — 2009-12-12 00:49:53Z

I'm a Hall in Southern California. I have traced my Hall roots back to Iowa, and before that, Allegheny, Pennsylvania. One of my ancestors, John Hall, Sr. supposedly came over from Ireland. I looking for that connection as well as the eventual connection to Arthur Fitzwilliam Hall as well.

Any information would be welcomed.

Regards,
Robert

Michael J Burke, Fitzwilliam agent in Co Wicklow?

glenrod6004 — 2009-06-27 10:56:18Z

I'm researching a Dublin barrister Michael John Burke who could well have been an agent or factor for the Fitzwilliam family, in Carnew, County Wicklow, in the 1840s. I'd be happy for relevant information or advice on how to explore Fitzwilliam rescources to see if this man was indeed an agent for the family. Many thanks.

Re: James Fitzwilliam & Mary Byrne

byutigr — 2009-02-28 15:48:55Z

The Patrick Fitzwilliam of Galveston is a grandson of the James Fitzwilliam and Mary Byrne in the subject line. His parents were James Fitzwilliam and Bridget Doyle and he is a brother of my great great grandfather, Thomas. Patrick is mentioned as having fought in a Civil War battle in Arkansas and as having met his brother, James W., after that battle. After the war, he migrated to Galveston to live with another brother, Denis, and eventually ended up in Los Angeles as a real estate broker.

It's possible that the Indiana Fitzes are related to my branch but I am unaware of what happened to all of the children of James & Mary, so it's hard to make connections. Someone in the Indiana branch would have to know that their ancestor is connected to James & Mary before we could close the loop.

Re: Fitzwilliam DNA project

jusher46 — 2008-12-17 20:22:05Z

I am not aware of any Fitzwilliam branch in the Isle of Man - All The Fitzwilliam in this area are in Cumbria and are descended from a single Irish Man and his wife who came over to work in the Mines.

SLIGO TOWN

Written Christmas Day, 1872

Edward Philip Fitzwilliam

Air – “The Dawning of the Day”

I was born in dear old Ireland, and I lived there twenty years,
Since reason dawned I’ve always keenly felt her hopes and fears,
Oh! Many a time I sadly think of the hour I sailed away,
From Sligo town that lies so snug at the foot of Knocknarae.

I love old Ireland all around the north, south, east and west,
But who can blame me if I love that dear old town the best;
‘Twas there that first my infant eyes beheld the light of day,
Near Sligo town that lies so snug at the foot of Knocknarae.

Though far away across the main in spirit oft I roam,
Around the hills and valleys of my dear old native home,
For many a pleasant day I spent ere I crossed o’er the sea,
When I’d go down to Sligo town at the food of Knocknarae.

The green fields of Ardcummer and the groves of Cooper’s hill,
Keash and Geevah, too, does very oft my mind’s eye fill;
Lough Arrow’s stream that glides along, in fancy oft I see,
Near Sligo town that lies so snug at the foot of Knocknarae.

Fresh in my mind I always find kind thoughts of early youth,
Of boys and girls with whom I played in innocence and truth;
The old school-house and chapel where we learned and used to pray,
All, all comes flashing through my mind when I think of Knocknarae.

I never forget the day I started off from Riverstown;
I never forget the friends who came with me to Sligo down;
I never forget the long last look from the top of Cautheen’s brae.
At Sligo town that lies so snug at the foot of Knocknarae.

I love my dear adopted land, I love it as my life;
I love it dearly as I love my children and my wife;
But who can blame me if I love old Ireland far away,
And Sligo town that lies so snug at the foot of Knocknarae.

Oh ! Irishmen, you have the brightest, dearest land on earth’
Why don’t you rise like men and free the dear land of your birth,
Unite the orange and the green, unfurl it right away,
Let it float on high ‘neath my native sky on the top of Knocknarae.

The fervent dying prayer of Allen Larkin and O’Brien.-
“God bless and save old Ireland.” Shall evermore be mine;
May freedom, peace and happiness increase from day to day,
In Ireland all ‘round and in Sligo town at the foot of Knocknarae.

Fitzwilliam DNA project

ilansburyfitzwilliam — 2007-06-10 10:21:05Z

Has anyone knowledge of a DNA project for surname Fitzwilliam?

I've had my 37 marker test done by Family Tree DNA and don't match anyone in their data base.

The same problem exists for YSearch and YBase, no matches.

Dr. John Mcewan suggests that my ancestors come from Ireland due to the fact that my nearest matches are all Irish.

All I know as far as the paper trail is concerned is that my earliest known paternal ancestor was born in the Isle of Man in the mid 1600's.

Suggestions please.

Hi Jill
Yes we have. I was the pest that asked you to participate in a DNA sample. I think your dad did it but I would not get to know. If he did we are all still waiting for the results. SMGF have changed their policy and are now well behind in processing samples. The people in our batch are fed up with waiting but we hope for not much longer. If he did the sample when we have the results you will make much progress with your family tree.
Best wishes to you both

I believe that my ancestor, John Fitzwilliam, was born 1835 in Wexford or Wicklow, Ireland. His parents were probably James & Bridget Doyle Fitzwilliam who left Ireland for New Orleans in 1850-1. James died onboard the ship.

Hi

To get straight to the point. I am searching for a Fitzwilliam who would be prepared to take a
Y DNA sample to progress the family reasearch. Obviously you would have to be interested in your Family Tree or ancient ancestors. Please read the following on the links below and if you or if any Fitzwilliam male would take the test please let me know.

Your surname is very interesting and perhaps one of the first surname in England. I also believe all Fitzwilliam’s are related and of course Viking from the Normandy invasion 1066

Hello
My fathers family is Fitzwilliam Hall. Our records also show that we are decended from Arthur of the Hall. However we have not dropped the Fitzwilliam bit and have always used Fitzwilliam Hall as our surname, although we sometimes just use Fitzwilliam. My line of the family eventualy moved to Cornwall.

Fitzwilliam, Askew, Thompson

2005-05-31 16:15:07Z

William Askew married Barbara Thompson in 1794, Aubourn Lincs UK. He died there in 1844 aged 74. There is a strong family tradition that he was related to the Fitzwilliam family, and there are descriptions of relevant documentation. He is said to have ‘run away’ from Bury St Edmunds (when young?). There are also indications of a Peterborough connection. Does anyone know anything more of his origins?

I do not know how helpful this will be but I am fairly sure that the father of Joanna Fitzwilliam is Edward Fitzwilliam. I have not yet been able to locate any dates for him. I will be sure to let you know if and when I do. I am related to Joanna Fitzwilliam through my Great Grandmother Cummings on my Maternal Grandfathers side.

byutigr — 2005-04-21 02:05:01Z

I am a 6th generation descendant of this couple, who lived in County Wexford, Ireland. Anecdotal evidence has him born in about 1760, with descendants who lived in and emigrated from Arklow, County Wicklow in about 1850. I have a substantial family tree developed subsequent to this couple and would like to hear from other Fitzwilliam descendants in the United States. Please contact me at fitzenterp@aol.com and we can correspond about any familial relationships.
