Hi Mary Mizzi,
If the ages you give for the two Fitzgerald girls are close to correct then
both were born before the start of legal Registration, which began in July
1837.
As they are from Ireland they are very probably roman Catholic. The RC
Church have been very slow to allow their records to be transcribed, in fact
it is only recently that the registers came out of the churches and were put
into local archives. I don't think Records for Ebbw Vale have been
transcribed yet - or even if there was a RC church in Ebbw vale at that
time, although I would imagine there would be.
If you take a look at
www.genuki.org.uk there could be something there that
might help. Or you could contact Gwent Family History Society who have just
begun transcribing some of the RC registers for the old county of
Monmouthshire.

The secretary is the one you should first contact. I will declare my
interest right now as I am a long standing member of Gwent FHS
