John Murphy living in Shoreditch
« on: Thursday 14 January 21 09:57 GMT (UK) »
Good Morning.

My 4 x Great grandfather John Murphy born late 1790s in Cork was a silk dyer living in Hudsons Court in Shoreditch in 1851, when he married in 1837 in St Leonards Church Shoreditch, a Daniel Murphy was a witness, I've found a Daniel Murphy a dyer and  family living in Bowl Court in Shoreditch in 1841, are they two places close together, and what are the chances both men are related, both around the same age,

I can't find John earlier than 1851.

Thankyou for any help

Does the 1841 indicate Daniel was from Ireland?

John does have a son Daniell so that could be another clue.

Who was John's father if you have it?

Hinchliffe - Huddersfield Wiltshire
Burroughs - Arlingham Glos
Pick - Frocester Glos

This is the 1841 census record for Daniel in Shoreditch.  The transcription says he was born Ireland as does the image with an I in the where born column.  His occupation is Dyer and age given as 50.

If I have the right marriage it was on 27 November 1836 at St. Leonard's Shoreditch to Mary Ann Hendry.
