Murphy Family Peckham/Camberwell
« on: Wednesday 05 May 21 09:13 BST (UK) »
Good Morning,

My 3 x great aunt Margaret Murphy, was born in 1864/5 in Lambeth to Daniel Murphy, and Bridget Quill, her siblings were John Murphy, my 2 x great grandfather, and Mary Ann Murphy.
I have found Margaret on the 1871 and 1881 census aged 16, but can't find her after that.
The families lived in Camberwell.
John and Mary Ann each  married and I have followed their lines down, Daniel died in 1890.

any help appreciated finding Margaret.
Thankyou

The GRO index for Margaret is 1865 but sadly no trace on the 1891 census but I did find the family, however Daniel still appears to be alive?

This may be the death of DANIEL   MURPHY,        59 
GRO Reference: 1892  M Quarter in CAMBERWELL  Volume 01D  Page 816

There are a two marriages for Margaret on freebmd, they are in Camberwell 1881 & 1882, which is maybe a bit early, however they did not seem to check out. There are many others in the County.
