« on: Monday 11 July 05 10:38 BST (UK) »
Am looking for birth of Peter Murphy c1865 and Mary Murphy c1867. Their father was called Michael and their mother Mary. The family moved to Cumbria but were in Scotland for the births of these 2 children but I don't know which area. They are originally from Ireland. Can anyone help? Cass

Hi, I don't know mothers maiden name but these two certainly could be the ones I'm looking for although on the 1881 census (Cumbria) Mary was born in Scotland. This though could be a mistake on the census. Many thanks Cass
