Murray

I'm looking for information about my gg grandparents. James Murray, born 1801 and Mary, born 1809. We think her surname may have been Sharkey. We also think James had a brother named Felix. Both were from County Louth, Clonkeen Parish. They left Ireland in 1846 and went to New York City. Their children, also from Ireland, were Bridget, Patrick, John, Michael, Mary and Thomas. They embarked from Liverpool aboard the ship Regulus.
