Hello there! Not sure if I'm in the right place...
I'm looking for my g grandmother Kathleen Murphy. She was born in Cork roughly around 1930? All I know is that her father was called Michael Murphy and addresses associated with them are 31 and 310 blarney street... we have searched for over 20 years records ect but have got nowhere... she married my g grandfather Arthur smith in 1950. They had x2 children Arthur and Angela.... any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you

  • I looked at the 1911 Irish census and found two Michael Murphys on Blarney St. in 1911. Of course, Michael Murphy was such a common name that I don't know for sure if one of these is your Michael.

    --1911 census—Michael Murphy, house 275 in Blarney St, living with sister Julia and family

    --1911 census, Michael Murphy, married to wife Ann, living at house 315 in Blarney St.

    Did Kathleen emigrate or stay in Ireland? If she stayed in Ireland, do you have any other information, such as where she lived/died? If she emigrated, where did she go? when? where/when did she die? Where was her marriage? Do you have the marriage and death record? Anything you might have would be of help.

  • Thank you so much for your reply Patricia... yes I found the x2 Michael's but again can't guarantee which is him...
    I have a marriage cert I will dig it out as soon as I'm home... my g grandfather she married was from houghton le spring, Durham England..when they married in 1950 I think off the top of my head she moved over there with him...unfortunatley there marriage didn't last and as far as I'm aware...she moved to Liverpool with there daughter Angela and my grandad father Arthur jnr stayed with Arthur snr... I remember there is an o sullivan on the marriage cert and I think its Julia so was thinking Julia was his sister and married an o sullivan....I will dig all info(not much) that I have ASAP and get it on
    Thank you
