FITZHENRY Family History

Recorded in the spellings of Fitzharry, Fitzharris, and Fitzhenry, all are essentially Irish surnames but of Norman-English origins. The surname was originally well recorded in County Wexford, where the family were known both as Fitzharris and Fitzhenry, although there is or was, another unconnected Fitzhenry group, in the province of Connacht.

Hello, I am looking for any information about the Fitzhenry origin please. I have an ancestor that was Kathleen Fitzhenry, born around 1871 in Ireland, and died around 1913 in Birmingham, England. She married Joseph Bullivant. Would be very interesting to have any family information please. Thank you
