Murphy, Newcastle

[Jessies Mum]

Hi.  Conducting a search on behalf of a cousin who is searching for the Murphy family from around the Newcastle area in the 1950's.  The gentleman in particular that is being searched for may still be alive, therefore I won't put his name on here - but I can state that he was one of ten children and his father worked for a radio station in Newcastle.  In the early 1980's this particular gentleman was living in Redfern.

Can anyone advise how I should go about trying to locate this family at all? 

I can give the name of the gentleman via direct message.  Thanks for helping.

Why can't you post the parents' names or at least the father's name.  Would his father have been a journalist?

I don't know the names of the parents sorry Cando - just the information i have already provided sorry.

OK

Not many MURPHY's on the 1980 electoral roll living at Redfern.

What was his occupation?

Have you checked the Ryerson Index for his death?

Maybe his father was Pat MURPHY?

Information is scarce unfortunately - hence my option of trying to see whether anything could be found on here.

I do not know the occupation of the gentleman in question unfortunately Cando.  I will definitely try the Ryerson Index.

Thank you cupoflife....that's why I asked if the man's occupation was journalist. 

This MAY be the probate notice of the person who was enrolled to vote at the same address in 1963 in Newcastle.
