Ireland / Searching for Eleanor (Ellen) Murphy or Ross born 1832 in Ireland
« on: Friday 23 October 20 21:12 BST (UK) »
I'm trying to locate birth date and location for 2x great grandmother born in Ireland 1832 according to Canada census records and her death certificate in Canada. Marriage record shows her as Eleanor Murphy, but death certificate in 1911 says father's surname was Ross and mother's was Fair. She married Robert Lytle in Ontario in 1848. No idea where she came from in Ireland.
Found Eleanor Ross in Galway, RC (mother's surname is Murphy), but Robert Lytle (origin - C. Fermanagh) and family all recorded as Church of England on census records. Why would she put Murphy as surname in 1848 if she later said it was Ross? Also found record for 1832 Eleanor Ross in Clogher, C. Monaghan, but no Murphy on record. Which Eleanor is most likely the one?
