Fitzpatrick in New Zealand - Wellington and Christchurch
James Michael Fitzpatrick was my maternal gf, born Christchurch c1880. I am researching the cemeteries for the ChCh connection at the moment and library for further info on siblings etc. He moved to Wellington as he married Julia McKeowen there (no date). He died in Palmerston North 10 Jun 1938. They had 4 children: Catherine, Thomas, James Gerard, Patrick who all lived/worked round the Wellington and Manawatu areas. There's cemetery records in ChCh for a James Fitzpatrick d 21 Aug 1920, age 85, born in Ireland and a Catherine Fitzpatrick d 28 Sep 1948 age 87 born in Ireland. Any links/info would be appreciated.

Have you had a look through all of these . . .

Hi Ngaire
Thanks for the reply. I've actually been to both ChCh cemeteries. James' headstone seems to have disappeared, but I have to do further checks on both to establish connections. I tend the gp's (Julia, James) graves when I get to Palmerston North. Been to ChCh library, but need further visit. Will probably get their marriage certificate. The McKeowen name rarely pops up anything. So I just plug away.
