I am looking for people in Ireland who may have this condition. It is in my family in Australia and we are lead to believe it came down through our maternal grandmother X 4 living in Ireland. My grand mother great X3 came to Australia and married. Her daughter is my grandmother x2 she had a large family with a number of the children having this disorder. It has been passed on since then.

The people I am interested are Denis Murphy  and Catherine McNally . They had a daughter named Mary Ann born in leighlinbridge Carlow in July 1838, This information came from her marriage certificate in Australia 1856. We have no other information of her family and would love to find our relatives.
Thank you
Mary Connolly

Hi
Don't know anything re. that particular family but if she was born in Leighlinbridge at that time then the parish office there might be worth a ring or email. A year or two ago I had a query and found them very helpful. Called down there a couple of times(only live a few miles away) and looked through the transcripts of the baptismal records. Also got to look at the original books. One lady I was talking to on the phone rang me back with a list of all the children born to a particular couple including baptismal dates etc.
Contact details are;

These are the only four children I could find to Denis & Catherine (McNally)Murphy. After Patrick was born they may have immigrated. I found a baptism for Denis Murphy on 30 January 1815 in Tinryland,co Carlow to Denis Murphy & Eleanor Gaynor. The only way to know if this is the correct one is to find a death cert for Denis & check the parents. As for Catherine, there are too many births, so you would need further identifying info to narrow down which cert may be hers.Hope this helps,Kim
