Charles William White and (C)Katherine Murphy

[ninkynoo]

I was wondering if anyone could help with trying to trace the marriage of Katherine Murphy and Charles William White c 1892/3 Cork .

I realise this is a long shot but I have not been able to find any details for my Gt Grandmother (Katherine but could be spelt Catherine).

I vaguely remember my Mum telling me that Katherines father could be called Richard ,now I am sure Katherine had a brother called Richard .Katherine was born 1872 in Cork and shortly after her marriage moved to Clacton -on-sea Essex and then moved on from there.

Both my parents died when I was fairly young so I have difficulty finding anyone in the family that can tell me more about them.I can also recall the Murphy family calling at our house in Clacton when I was about 6 or 7 (about 1967) but Mum was out and they never returned .

I would dearly love to find out more about my Irish roots but have no idea where to go to from here.

Their son ,my Grandad  Charles William White was born 1894 Cork ,the rest of the siblings were born over here.I do know that the children were all raised as Catholics.
Charles William White senior was born 1862 Romsey Hampshire son of William White (Dorset) and Margaret brown (Scotland).

Any help really appreciated as I am really stumped as to where to go next.
Thank you for taking time to read this

Oh My Goodness ,that is them !!!! .
The names Richard and Daniel do ring a bell.
The name Lenihen figures in my childhood as there was a Mrs Lenihen who lived across the road to us when I was little ,Now it all comes back to me ,we called her Aunty and my Mum said she was a distant relative ,she had a daughter Nancy who I played with until they knocked down the old cottages and built an estate there.How odd.
Thank you so much for helping ,these members of my family have always fascinated me and the only ones who could have told me anything all passed on quite young.
I am absolutely thrilled ,Thank you again

I am also very interested in a Murphy family from Newmarket, Cork

My William Murphy b. abt 1813 married Ellen Reardon abt 1839.

William's parents are Richard Murphy and Mary McAuliffe. They came to Australia on the ship William Metcalfe 1838.
