MARIA GREEG/GREGG. First i would like to point out an observation made by Aghadowey yesterday that the enumerator numbers the census forms and the addresses dont always match what he has recorded i e there is no 29 Leeson Park Avenue in 1911 recorded. [ edit should have said 1901 ]
Calendar of wills and administrations

cant see any obvious connection to your family.
could it be that maria gregg lived with her husband william burroughs gregg,in 81 grosvenor sq rathmines dublin .with her servant anne murphy and john murphy and there children
before moving to 29 leeson park avenue,as seen in the 1901 census.
i have been told by there family that maria gregg maiden name was maria elizabeth kerr her father the rev william kerr from monaghan,wanted a servant ,and anne apllied and got the job,
in 1870 maria kerr married william burroughs gregg and moved to dublin,taking anne her servant with them
maria gregg and william burroughs gregg had a son born to them in 1871 name of william burroughs gregg
in 1871 the same year anne met and married john murphy.stableman to trinity college
they allmoved in together
1872 peter murphy was born
1876 john murphy was born
1882 patrick murphy was born
in 1887 michael murphy was born
in 1890 thomas murphy was born
now by this they all could have been born in 81 grosvenor sq rathmines dublin
if so we are looking for another parish roman catholic church where they all were baptized
in dec 1904 maria gregg died leaving everthing to her son william burroughs gregg
now the murphy family had to find another home which would have been in 1905
in 1911 census we seee that johnurphy had died
