Greetings from New Zealand Everyone,
I have recently discovered from DNA testing that I am descended from Murphys from Ireland. I have also discovered that the earliest Murphy on my tree was originally known as Edmond (or Edmund) de la Cour and that his family were Huguenots who fled to Cork from France. Edmond (1804 - 1866) apparently changed his name to Murphy to help his family assimilate in Ireland. I have Edmond married to Jane de la Compt with a death date of 1866 but have not been able to verify this information. I understand that the family had strong Church of Ireland links.
Is there anyone reading this that is familiar with this family? I would love to know more about the Huguenot connection and the time when this family resided in Cork. (I have heard that there was a house sold in Cork under the name of de la Cour.)
(I believe I am descended from Edmond's son Michael Murphy (1833-1914) who was born in Dublin, married Alicia Dickson (1828 -1910) in Tasmania Australia, and emigrated to New Zealand where he died.
Thank you.

Thanks again Hallmark. I am beginning to think that the info that I have must be incorrect.

Maybe not yours but it names family unit...
Of French origin this family settled in county Cork in the second half of the 17th century. In 1680 Robert Delacour married Ellen, daughter of Philip Cross and their grandson, another Robert, married Dorcas Norcott in 1764. Their eldest son was Robert De La Cour of Beare Forest who by his wife, Mary Baggs, had three sons, Robert of Fairy Hill, James of Sunny Hill and Hugh who married Katherine Stawell of Crobeg as well as a daughter who married Captain William Henry Herrick of Shippool. Robert Delacour was among the principal lessors in the parishes of Ballinaboy and Dunderrow, barony of Kinalea, county Cork, at the time of Griffith's Valuation. In 1820 James Delacour married Harriet G. Lombard, daughter and co heiress of James Lombard of Lombardstown. In the 1870s James Delacour of Mallow owned 4,507 acres in county Cork. His brother Robert Delacour of Fairyhill owned a further 717 acres and James' son, Reverend Robert W. Delacour of London, owned 872 acres.

The only additional info that I have (additional to that in my opening post) is that Edmund / Edmond Murphy may have been a Professor of Agriculture at Cork University. Once again I can't verify this story.
