Murray in Kilmurry and Macoom
« on: Sunday 21 January 18 02:40 GMT (UK) »
I am looking for any information on a James Murray, who in 1819 looks to be married to a Julia Murphy and they are the parents of a Thomas Murray (1819-1863) at a Baptism in Kilmurry.

James looks to be still living in Macroom in Griffith evaluation in 1852.

I cannot find a marriage to Julia, nor a birth or death. Any information welcome.

  Baptism in Kilmurry for THS MURRAY 4th August 1817 shows parents as Jerh Murry & Julia Murphy Sponsors Tim Riordan & Nel Crowley

Baptism to above parents of Ths of a Michael Murry 15th March 1819  Sponsors Ths Murry & Cath Butler.

The griffiths valuation you mention what is name of Townland/Parish for Murry? Have you made an error stating name as James not Jeremiah/Jerh as mentioned in the 2 baptisms?

2 further Baptisms to Jerh Murry & Julia Murphy
Mary Murry 12th August 1812 & John Murry 17th Nov 1814.
Cannot locate a Marriage for Parents.

Thank you, I will have another look at this.

When I took the 1817 baptism record for discussion to my Irish Research Group, we saw that "Jerh" name as "Jas" and the opinion was it was James. So if it is James you have opened a brickwall for me. The question I will have then is (and yes I know I have to answer it), who is James in Macroom and the others around Macroom, how or do they fit?

Many thanks again.
John

Give a man a record and you feed him for a day.
