Title: Murphy Barry
Post by: anitakate on Thursday 03 May 12 14:41 BST (UK)

I am looking any information regarding Margaret (Peg) Murphy b. 1907 Ireland who married John Barry and lived in Durban, South Africa. I have no other information other than Margarets parents were John Murphy and Bridget Farnan from Westmeath, Ireland.  Margaret probably emigrated in the 30s.
Many thanks Anitakate

Had you already checked the 1911 Irish census?  I'll post the link just in case

Thanks for that CaroleW.  I appreciate your help! I have the Irish census and details of her Irish relatives, but was hoping for some information regarding her and her husband John (also called Jack) in South Africa.  I only discovered recently that this is where she emigrated to.
Thanks again
