Hello I'm posting this message because i am hoping that someone may have information on a John Murphy from Castle Gardens Kilkenny Ireland.
I have only just discovered him through his brother James Murphy probate and will ,dated 1908. It read that John was from Kilkenny
It seems to me that John Murphy remained in Ireland while his family immigrated to Melbourne Australia possibly in
1850. Don't know whether he had family or when he died.
The family consisted of Patrick Murphy,his wife Margaret Murphy nee O'Keefe born 1803 castle gardens Kilkenny Ireland died Melbourne 1887. Children James ,Mary, Bridget, Annie ,Ellen and of cause John who remained in Ireland
IT seems that i am the only person researching this family.
Thanks Claire

Just see if I'm reading this correctly.
James Murphy died in Australia naming a brother John in Ireland in his will.
An approx date of the birth for James and his siblings would help.
Were they all born in Ireland?

Hi conahy calling
Just a comment on the John Murphy on the 1901 & 1911 census
He seems too young to be a brother
The census returns => he was born c 1867 rather than c1830s/1840s to be a sibling
-
Yes I agree with you Myluck
I posted them as they are the only John Murphys I could find in Castlegarden.
-
thanks for all your help. it all makes interesting reading and much to ponder over :)

John Murphy is a very common name. 1st link is for a John Murphy death in 1920, age 87, estimated birth 1833. Thomastown Registration District. There may be more possible matches to consider.

Map link. (Using "Zoom" facility lower r/h corner)
To find Castlegarden follow R448 road as far as Kilfane. Castlegarden is to the right.
"Patrick Murphy of Grague" This is probably Graiguenamanagh, which is south east of Castlegarden.
http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0706
Baptisms start 1838 (Marriages 1818) so not early enough to search for Patrick.

Thanks. Who would i contact to request a death certificate for John murphy. ?. Hopefully it may show his parents names and wife if he married.
there is no baptism records prior to 1838 for Patrick murphy?
-
I dont know if this is your John Murphy, just a possibility.

Details included on Death Cert.
Graiguenamanagh Baptism records commence 1838, but there is a possibility he could have been baptised in another parish.

Hi Brenda did you get my reply to another one of my posts that you responded too. Regarding Murphys of castle gardens? Would love to connect. I haven't found anyone so far that is tracing my lineage, even on ancestry.

Hi Myluck!.
These three Murphy's travelled to Australia with my relatives, first stopping in Port Adelaide for a week, then travelling to Port Phillip together. Might help.
James McMurty and his family left their home in Carrickfergus in County Antrim and arrived in Australia as assisted immigrants on the barque Sultana, 588 tons, under Captain David Mainland, which sailed out of London on the 23rd March 1850. It stopped at Plymouth to allow the McMurtry family and other emigrants to board and left there on the 6th April 1850 with 251 passengers. It arrived at Port Adelaide, South Australia on the 25th July 1850. The ship took 47 days to reach the equator, and then made the run to Port Adelaide in 62 days.
The McMurty family, headed by James, a labourer from Antrim, went on to Melbourne with the Murphy family who were also on this voyage. The family was recorded as McMurty James (37), Margaret (36), John (16), James (14), Thomas (11) and Jenny (infant)
The trip to Melbourne was per the brigantine Elizabeth, 68 tons with Master Foyle towards Melbourne on Monday 5th August 1850. They thus spent 10 full days in Adelaide and arrived in Melbourne on Saturday August 10th as reported in The Argus on Monday August 12th on page 2
The Murphy family were all from Kilkenny and had 3 brothers and sister already in Melbourne. The traveller companions were John (32) a Labourer, Bridget (28) a Servant and Matthew (26) a Labourer.
