The Mysterious Murphys

You know you're obsessed when you start doing trees for friends as well as your own --

Anyhow. James Murphy was a single school teacher in Bath in 1851. In 1861, he was living with his wife Jane in South Stoke, and with them were 3 children - John age 8, Mary age 3 and Agnes Catherine age 1.

In 1871, James and Jane were back in Bath with 2 more children, Joseph (b 1961) and Augustine (b 1865); John was at a boarding school and I can't find the girls anywhere. James died in 1877 in Bath and in 1881, Jane and her now adult children John, Joseph, and Agness were in Clapham.

Joseph went to Ireland and stayed there (oldest child born in Co Fermanagh in 1891). John disappeared - ? back to Ireland as well. Agnes probably married in 1887 in Edmonton to Henry Wood or Henry Worsley then disappeared.

I've confirmed the births of all the children in Bath except Mary. I cannot find her on freeBMD, Bath BMD or any census except 1861. Augustine also appeared once, in 1871, then disappeared.

If anyone can track down Mary post-1861, Augustine post-1871, John post-1881 and Agnes post marraige I'd be most grateful - and so would my friend!
