I have just come across the following entry in the Bantry baptismal register - hope this is still of interest, this many years after your original post!

I think the Surname is KELLEHER but it appears in the early registers with only one L (the registers are full of spelling mistakes).  The Bantry register starts in 1888 and one of the first entries is for a Michael MURPHY, baptised on 23 January 1888.  His parents’ names are difficult to decipher but I think they are Tim [Timothy] MURPHY and Ellen KELEHAN [KELLEHAN].  The N of KELLEHAN is written with a flourish and looks like a Y.

Would love to hear back from you.

Hello,

From the 1850s to about 1903, my husband's family (on his mother's side), the LOCKYER's, ran the Nags Head in Week Street, Maidstone.  As far back as the 1840s they also had an association with the Union Flag pub, 72 Union Street, Maidstone (later re-named the Style and Wynch).  The family was also in the building trade (they seem to have run a building, sign writing and painting business whilst also running the pubs).  Would love to hear back from you.

Very glad that you saw my post and that it helped.  I am related distantly to this family (by marriage)  - if she looks on Ancestry she should see the tree entitled "MURRAY Family of London (and Waterford, Ireland)" which might add to the picture for her.  It would be good to share our research.

Have just done a little more research.  Thomas and Martha's son George HOPTON married Sarah GOODMAN on 20 December 1843, in St Pancras, London.  Thomas was described as "Dead".  [George was a Coach Maker living in Brill Cresent and his Bride lived Drummond Street (both in adresses in the St Pancras area].

Grateful if any one could look up the following marriage for me:

Background:  Nicholas MURRAY was born in County Waterford Circa 1849.  His parents were Nicholas Murray (born County Waterford 1817-1819) and Mary (born County Waterford Circa 1822; they had married in County Waterford in Circa 1847.  The family were in London for the 1851 Census.  Nicholas juior married Mary WALSH (born London Circa 1848), in London in 1873.  Mary MURRAY nee WALSH died in 1885.  Nicholas remarried a woman called Catherine "Kate" CAREY (born Kill, Waterford in Circa 1859)  At the time of her marriage to Nicholas, kATE was a widow and her first married name was McCORMACK.

Grateful for a look up of the marriage of Nicholas MURRAY to Catherine McCORMACK nee CAREY.  We have not been able to locate the marriage in England and believe Nicholas may have met and married her on a visit back to Waterford.  Given that Catherine was born in Kill, the marriage may have taken place there but equally we do not know where her first husband came from....

Many Thanks in advance.
