My search now centers on the following generational "temporary" brick wall.

My 2x Grt. Grand-parents,
MARK FITZPATRICK and BRIDGET MORAN (both b.abt 1800-1816), lived, I believe, relatively close by their daughter & her family in Simcoe County, Ontario, Canada, in the vicinity of Orillia.

Their Grandson, and our Grandfather, James MORAN Yeats, better known as "Bert", was born to Margaret Ann FITZPATRICK and William Ball Yeats of Simcoe County, Ontario, Canada - in the vicinity of Orillia, August 1875.

His parents, Margaret Ann FITZPATRICK and William Ball Yeats , were married in 1868 at St.Patrick's Cathedral, Toronto, Ontario.

Their witnesses were: John COE and Ellen FITZPATRICK, both residents of Toronto.

In particular, knowing nothing whatsoever about BRIDGET MORAN, I am anxious to uncover even the tiniest bit of information about her generation of the family.

Could BRIDGET MORAN be the same BRIDGET I see in Simcoe Historical data and on Google, who was a well-known author of her time?

Also, I wonder if anyone recognizing our Grt. Grand-mother Margaret's name might have any knowledge of her FITZPATRICK siblings?

Was Ellen her sister, aunt or cousin? Hopefully, time will tell.

I would appreciate any replies being posted directly to this Board. They will reach me as quickly as a normal e-mail.

My thanks!

Aileen
