first my Irish family was found in 1901 census. living at 1.2 in 172 leeson park avenue (rathmines and rathgar east. Dublin.could you please tell me what parish this is in.
second time, they were found in the 1911 census .living in 1.2 westmoreland park(rathmines and rathgar east. Dublin .what parish is this .this might help my search .
now looking at what roots chat has found out for me .which is more then i thought they could.now i would like to find out more about (my wife's) grand father john Murphy and his wife Anne Murphy.
when and where they got married.how many children did they have.and who did there children marry
and of course if i can john Murphy .father and mother
there is a story which has come up which i don.t know how true it is,
i think they are just summarizing. only they say maria and Anne were friends along time ago
Maria Greeg ,Father who was a Minister for the Church of Ireland, lived in co monaghan with his family, who wanted a cleaner.and cook .Anne from co wicklow, turned up .and worked there, and as Anne and maria were near the same age they got on well with each other,.so when maria married Mr Greeg .And went to live in Dublin 29 Leeson Park Avenue.Her father knowing how Bad Maria Health was, Sent Anne with her .Who then met and Married John Murphy.Maria Greeg had Two Children .a Boy and a Girl .The Girl later Married a Mr Kelly, So we had Mary Kelly Grand Daughter.Mr Greeg Died .And so did Maria.s Father .Who left her all that Money.
So Maria Greeg, Bought a Bigger House in 72 Leeson Park Avenue .Taking along with her .Her Granddaughter Mary Kelly . And her friend and Cleaner.Anne Murphy and her Husband and Children ,
Maria Greeg, died in 1904.leaving her money left from her father to her son.
So the Murphy Family had to find a New Home.Taking with them Mary Kelly, who now is called Ginney Kelly.
So if Anne Murphy Born 1851.Her oldest Son Peter Murphy was 39 in 1911, He was born 1872
He was born when she was 21 Years old.So John and Anne could have been Married in 1871.
Maria Greeg born 1852.Was one year Younger then Anne Murphy
Maria could have married Mr Greeg in 1870.when she was 18
One more thing.
in the 1901 and the 1911 census we have,john and anne murphy four sons.
now there family say they had 7 sons and a daughter
now looking at this
Anne Murphy born 1851
we have Peter Murphy born 1872 when Anne was 21 years old
gap of 11 years could have had more children
Patrick Murphy born 1883 when Anne was 32 years old
gap of 4 years
Michael Murphy born 1887 when Anne was 36 years old
gap of 3 years
Thomas Murphy born 1890 when Anne was 39 years old
so his family could be right
