Birth record/Michael Fitzpatrick

I am looking for the Birth of Michael Fitzpatrick. I have an Old Age Pension Record that states he was born in New Brunswick, Canada. On Good Friday 1833. I would love to get a copy of his Birth Certificate. He was married in Kingston 1858. Came to New Zealand 1862/63

I think it very unlikely that you would find a birth certificate for as early as 1833 in New Brunswick. Your best hopes are a record of baptism, or a census record. In both cases, an exact location would be needed; and in the case of the baptism, the denomination.
The reference to a marriage in Kingston brings to mind Kingston, Kingston Parish, Kings County, New Brunswick, but that is by no means certain. Assuming a connection to Kings Co., I note in the 1851 census of Hampton Parish:

James Fitzpatrick age 44, Irish, came to NB in 1831, tenant farmer
Mary Fitzpatrick 44, Irish, came to NB 1831
Francis Fitzpatrick 18 b. NB
Thomas Fitzpatrick 15 b. NB
Maria Fitzpatrick 8 b. NB

No William, and the child b. ca. 1833 was Francis. James might be the same, age 29, a labourer, who arrived in Saint John, NB from the port of Dublin, Ireland in MAY1834, a passenger on the ship, 'Edwin'. Apparently single.
A John Fitzpatrick petitioned for land in Kings Co. in 1844. This doesn't mean he got it, just asked for it.
While I see much evidence of the name in Saint John Co. about 1900, I see little evidence of the name in Kings Co. The 1861 census for Kings Co., NB might be worth consulting, and the interlibrary loan department of your library may be able to assist; but it would be wise to fix on a specific location first. The Marriage Registers of Kings Co. are also on microfilm. The census reels probably would have to be loaned from the National Archives of Canada; but the Marriage Registers would probably be at the Provincial Archives of New Brunsick.

is the message:

Hi! I am looking for a Michael Fitzpatrich, born c 1830, unsure where, married Eleanor McAuley in New Brunswick, Canada in 1855; sailed to New Zealand with McAuley family in their brig 'Our Hope'. Anyone with information/suggestions, etc

This message is four years old, but perhaps Stephen has learned more since.

Hi Thomas
Thanks for your reply. Yes I do know Stephen but we still have not found where Michael was born.
The Old Age Pension is the only clue I have at this time, which states that his occupation was a Ship Wright. We know that he helped build the Boat "Our Hope" that the McAuley & Fitzpatrick Family came out to New Zealand 1862/63.
Also on his death certificate it states that he was born in New Brunswick and occupation was Ship Wright.
A copy of Marriage Registration. Kent County 1921-361 F15483 Proviance New Brunswick Michael Parish of Richibucto? County?. Eleanor Mc Auley Parish of Wellington, same county?
One more thing to check would be a Sarah Fitzpatrick who married a Patrick Desmond. Daughter of Luke Fitzpatrick and Mary O'Leary, on Feb 3 1851. The witnesses were Jane & George McAuley. She might be Michael's Sister. Miramichi area.
I always thought that Michael was Born in Ireland but had no proof.
Regards Kay

Kay, I was just at a McDonald reunion on Saturday in Buctouche NB and on the way home dropped in to the St Peter's Cemetery in South Branch and if I remember correctly Michael Fitzpatrick was born in Ireland according to his headstone. If you are no further ahead, I will try to get someone to confirm this. Mary Anne McDonald and James Burns' daughter, Mary Burns, married Philip Murphy (my g gf) and Mary Fitzpatrick married Luke Murphy (a brother to Philip). Witnesses to the marriage were; Michael Fitzpatrick and Patrick Murphy (Luke's father). My question; were Mary and your Michael (who married Eleanor McAuley) brother and sister? And, if so, do you have any information for Mary and Luke?
