About Charles Borromeo Fitzgerald

Lived 1865 – 1913 (aged 47). Charles Borromeo Fitzgerald was a barrister, politician and solicitor.

Charles Borromeo Fitzgerald (28 June 1865 – 10 February 1913) was a barrister and politician from Queensland, Australia.

Fitzgerald was born in 1865 in Rockhampton, Queensland, the fifth son of Jessie and Thomas Henry Fitzgerald. He received his education in France and was a noted scholar. Fitzgerald was a captain with the Queensland Irish Volunteers. In the 1902 state election, Fitzgerald was beaten by Arthur Cooper by 112 votes.
