Escutcheon of the FitzGerald baronets of Newmarket on Fergus

The FitzGerald baronetcy, of Newmarket on Fergus, or Carrigoran in County Clare, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 5 January 1822 for Augustine FitzGerald.[1] He was son of Edward Fitzgerald (c. 1736–1814) of Carrigoran, M.P. for Co. Clare, 1782. The family were a branch of the Geraldines of Pallas, County Limerick, established at Carrigoran, parish of Kilnasoolagh, barony of Bunratty Lower, County Clare, which they bought in 1678 from Col. Daniel O'Brien, later Viscount Clare.

The title became extinct on the death of the 5th Baronet in 1908.[2]
