Fitzgerald Catherine Teresa
Looking for any info on her death. She married Michael William Fitzgerald in SA 1887. I know he is buried in a paupers grave at Karrakatta d 1910 but have been unable to find her. Have checked the East Perth cemetery, someone said she was buried at St Patrick's Subi but they were exhumed and were taken to Karrakatta Perth. But she is not there. Any help would be great.

I saw your query and I thought I might could help. I found a Katherine Fitzgerald Buried in Box Hill Cemetery, Whitehorse City, Victoria, Australia. Find a grave memorial # 123869797, also I found 25 Catherine Fitzgerald's in Australia. Sometimes it helps if you don't put in the middle name or initial. Since I don't have a DOB or DOD, Maybe you can recognized your Catherine. Go through Find a Grave.com and just put in Catherine Fitzgerald or maybe she went by her maiden name. I did not see the name Karrakatta in any of the Catherine's mentioned. Do you know the date of birth or death? If you know the death date it might help better than the date of birth. Most of the births are unknown, but the dates of death are listed. Try putting her name in but leave off the middle name and see what comes up for you. Did she died in Australia? Please let me know if you found her. smith41
Hi smith 41, thank you for taking up my quest.
Catherine was born in Adelaide 2.8.1862. She died before her husband Michael, he died 12.7.1910 and is buried at Karrakatta, Perth. They had 2 sons Herbert, or Hubert and Frederick Norman (alas Norman). We are sure she would have died in Perth. I am starting to think she wasn't registered!! and only the church has the records. Bowra & O'dea say they have records for a Catherine for St Patrick's Cemetery Subiaco. But they were all exhumed and re buried in Karrakatta. But she isn't on any records. The Catholic Church says they have a record for a Mrs M Fitzgerald at East Perth Cemetery. But when you look for the names for East Perth she isn't listed. I have been trying to solve this for a long time. Thank you.
Could this be your Catherine

Have often looked at this Catherine but the age is wrong and grantee is a John. The rest of the info is spot on. Do you think she could have been put there after being exhumed from Subi after Michael died?
