George Murphy

[catherine k]

Hi
Thankyou I've checked again for Mary's death before George's death 1902 as it does say he's widower and I can't find it very strange as it just says his son Michael present at death he would be my Great uncle Michael
Kind regards

Hi
Heywood just to reply to you as I was searching for information on George Murphy well my uncle thinks George Murphy and Mary Murphy née Gallagher were buried in Kildownet cemetery not sure if it the old Kildownet or the newer Kildownet cemetery I haven't found any burial records but at least it's a start knowing the location
Best wishes

Have you found George and Mary on 1901 census?

Would this be George?

Hi to you all replying to information on George Murphy first so do you think George is buried at the old Kildownet I wasn't sure as there is no headstone also there is a headstone for Catherine Murphy and Patrick which I have visted I have seen the death records of George Murphy but Mary Murphy née Gallagher I really don't know much about my Great Great Grandmother I know George was from Saila and they lived there I can't find there marriage cert and can't understand why I can't find her death certificate if Mary death wasn't in Achill I've checked castlebar
It's just a mystery
Thankyou to everyone who has sent information

You haven't confirmed if the George Murphy I found in 1901 census is the correct one.
Possibly Mary died away from home- whilst visiting family or in hospital for example. Westport Workhouse would cover Achill-

Another possibility is that her name is either incorrect or she was registered with a different Christian name.

Have you traced all known children after 1871 to see if she registered deaths (or births of their children, especially children of any daughters)?

Hi
Sorry I meant to reply about the 1901 census  yes it is the right George Murphy living with family the age was wrong as he was 80years of age he died in 1902 and his wife had already passed away my family said she was called Mary however I have looked for other Christian names with the surname Murphy but can't find her death certificate as I far as I know the last child was James in 1871  my Great Grandmother was his sister Catherine Murphy I still have family living in Achill who have gave me a lot of information only that George and Mary were buried in the old Kildownet Cemetery which I couldn't find the grave or records when I last visited Achill
Thanking you kindly for your reply
