Edward

Married Margaret

Children:

Richard

Christopher

Edward and Margaret are listed as parents on the baptismal record of their son Christopher (baptised by St Michan's Dublin 13 December 1726). Confirmed as ours by the address which is Drumcondra Lane - which is now known as Upper Dorset Street - where Edward the engraver (1758 - 1834) lived at Number 88.



This is 88 Dorset Street as it appears now. When the Fitzgeralds moved in in the seventeen hundreds it was brand spanking new and in the fashionable area of Dublin. The windows in this photo are replacements as the originals would have been multi-paned. And the windows just above the door may well have little wrought-iron balconies. There's a full basement and there would have been (maybe still is!) a long garden in the back. The family lived there until 1834, when they moved to what was then becoming the fashionable area south of the Liffey.
