    Possibly but there's a LOT of work to be done here involving hours of study and spending money to purchase records. You'll need to find a clever fellow with a lot of time on his hands or pay someone to do some research I think...

    Irishgenealogy gives the following children of Thomas Fitzgerald & Henrietta Smith:
    Emily Christina Fitzgerald
    http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/details/3cdae70076727
    Maria Fitzgerald http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/details/f3eb4d0077451
    Thomas Fitzgerald http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/details/f07c3d0117615

    I found a death of a 31 year old Henrietta Fitzgerald in 1877 [Dublin North 1877, vol 12 p357] - it's possible that Henrietta died in childbirth. You'd need to get the death certificate at the GRO to check this out.

    I'd suggest searching the 1901 census to find out if anyone was left in Dublin/Ireland.

    Sorry I couldn't be of more help !

    It might be possible to get as far as 1911 but beyond that will cost money. Maybe not a lot but it'll be impossible to do for free.

    This may be one of the cases though where a site like Rootsireland might be worth throwing 20euro at them for a months subscription. That way you can search for example for the children's marriages and knowing the parents names you can filter out the bad results. This should get you up to 1920-ish.

    for example this looks like it could be the marriage record for one of the kids.

    https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FYZH-ZTB
    Elizabeth Christina Fitzgerald
    Ireland, Civil Registration Indexes
    Name: Elizabeth Christina Fitzgerald
    Event Type: Marriage
    Event Date: Apr - Jun 1899
    Event Place: Dublin North, Ireland
    Registration Quarter and Year: Apr - Jun 1899
    Registration District: Dublin North
    Volume Number: 2
    Page Number: 490

    with that info you can order a marriage cert for 5euro, or with RootsIreland you could check first (only after paying at least 20e though!) and see if the parents names in the cert match up (Thomas and Henrietta).|If you do then you can either view the transcript to see who she married on RootsIreland or order the cert at the GRO (or both...)
