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. The name means "the son of Henry", from the famous personal name introduced into England by the Norman-French in 1066. The original meaning of the name was generally more specific, and usually implied a natural son, rather than one from the marriage. As many of the "Fitz" prefix can claim royal and noble blood, the question of naturality does not seem to have proved any sort of handicap, in fact the reverse, it has been for many a positive asset!

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
