Hello Ian
Thanks for the speedy reply. Timothy Murray left Tinnakeenly, Co kilkenny, sailed to NZ, settled in Wellington, went off to WW1 and the western front, injured, back to NZ, became familiar with the police and local magistrates. He ended up in Paekakariki. When he died, he left his estate to a Sydney Brown. I actually contacted a relative of Sydney who made inquiries on my behalf but sadly, nobody had any recollection of Timothy. I know this sounds nuts, but I was half hoping you were his son/ grandson. His mother, died October 1891,was Maria Dawson from Caragh, Co Kildare. When the Murrays sold Tinnakeenly, the new owners had to get an exorcism preformed!!! Maria's brother William married a Mary Keenan and lived in Raheenbeg, Co Offaly. They had Anne ( nantie) Michael and Patrick. Anne married Charles Chissell (Choiseul) who died 5 years after marriage. They produced James, William and my father Charles. In you OP years ago, you had an image with Paddy, Michael rip and Nantie written down, was that a photograph?
It's sad the way the Murrays finished up, even at this remove, but set la vie.
Best regards
Paul.
