Jane Murtha
« on: Wednesday 21 October 15 21:34 BST (UK) »
I'm looking for any information on a Jane Murtha (or similar spelling)
When she married in Victoria Australia in 1872, her marriage entry says she was 23 ( born 1849) and was born in what looks like Kinsilsoe County Kildare. Her parents were William Murtha and Eliza Welch.
Any help would be appreciated

Any idea what religion Jane Murtha was?
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Ah!!!! I think she was Roman Catholic, I'm reasonably sure her husband's family were Catholics and I know her eldest daughter was a devout Catholic --- but Jane and her husband Joseph Garrett were married in a Presbyterian Church in Australia.!!!!!

The copy of the marriage entry I have is rather faint. I think the place starts "Kin" and ends "soe"

Thanks for the speedy replies

I see there is a very well known, old established, family name of Kinsella in Kildare, but they don't seem to have had a place named after them.

There was a Jane Murtha born to a William and Betty (variant of Eliza) in 1846 in Kilshanroe.

You can see it above.
