Murtha died 28/11/1922.and is interred in family plot at the graveyard in Abbeyleix town,one good stroke i noticed about Murtha /2/.about 1905 the old age pension was first issued to people over the age of 70....


Death 1922 at the County Hospital, Abbeyleix.
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1922/05063/4387680.pdf

The 1908 State Pension law was passed in August 1908 and the first pensions paid on 1 January 1909 to around 500,000 people aged 70 or more.

The introduction of the State Pension is why many peoples ages are incorrect on the 1911 Census of Ireland where people upped their age in the hope of getting a pension a few years early.

In order to establish a person's age, a search of the 1841 and 1851 census was necessary.

Hi Feno, thank you so much for your reply. So do I presume that were related ?? Murtha 1792 was my GGG Grandad and his son Martin was my GG Grandad. When I visited this summer I met Fennellys who we’re related back to this Murtha but via Mary Leonard, not Mary Ann Bergin which is my root and I so wanted there to be a connection although I’d seen other people list the two marriages I couldn’t find proof. I found a marriage record for a Mary Leonard marrying a Micheal Fennelly . But i’ll happily take your word for it . I think I saw Murthas grave ,whilst I was looking for my relatives grave in Abbeyleix as the man I met it was his relatives grave . And by doesn’t he seem canny, clever man, get what you can that’s what I say. Thanks again Karen x
