Family History Beginners Board / Re: Searching Bridget Elizabeth Murphy

No, I can't find a birth record for Eveline Emily Murphy and I haven't found any other records for Emma Gertrude Bayley/Murphy, so this, along with the birth dates; father & mother, has me suspecting that they're the same person.
My main research is on Miriam Maida Murphy (no birth record). Her mother was Elizabeth Murphy, who later in life called herself Mrs Mercer. The father was possibly George Wilson and died when she was young. She had a half-sister known as Auntie Eva, so the Eveline above fits. I can give you a few more details if you think its the Elizabeth Murphy you're after.
I'm in Hobart so I'm going to chase up the thesis you mentioned, hopefully it'll have a few clues. What was the original record of the information about a Gibton living with Bridget Elizabeth Murphy?, I'd like to have a look at that, too. Matthew
