McMurrough marriage?

[greeneyedgirl]

Aghadowey, not to throw a spanner in the works but I came across this.

Marriage:
Matilda Tierney
July- Sept 1881  Omagh
James McKevitt

Could she have married before she married Arthur? Maybe her last name at time of marriage was different than Tierney.
This Matilda seems to have been born 12 Sept 1859 in Omagh,Tyrone to Francis & Margaret Flanagan.  Kim

From reply #7-

John McMurrough (c1818-17 Jan.1900 Glaslough), butcher, m. Catherine Sherlock (c1836-1 Nov.1891 Glaslough). Children: ?Arthur (c1858), Thomas (c1859), John (c1861), Mary Ann (1864), Francis (1866), Catherine (1868), twins Margaret & Mary Ann (1871), Joseph (1873), Henry (1876).

Yesterday I found another son- Patrick.

Greeneyedgirl-
Here's that McKevitt/Tierney marriage from civil registrations-

I think the Matilda/Rebecca found earlier is the correct one but will keep a note of this one.
They had a son Patrick born 1884-

Believe it or not I start to search for this family again last night!

Thanks, Kim. The 1882 marriage for Arthur McMurrough & Eliza McLoughlan is unlikely to be the same Arthur McMurrough as I now think his father was John & I did come across other McMurroughs in Armagh but will certainly make a note of it as you never know.

I had collected lots of McMurroughs from Monaghan and was fairly sure that Arthur was from Glaslough and his parents John and Catherine (nee Sherlock) so that pension application looks very interesting.

The surname is earlier more often recorded as McMurrer but also McMurrin, McMurrier ... I think I found once as McMurray.

Arthur McMurrough & Matilda Tierney had 10 children, all born Belfast, from what I've found- John (1887- named for both grandfathers if I'm correct), Arthur Henry (1889), William Leo (c1892), Kathleen (1894- after Arthur's mother?), Margaret (1896), Josephine (1897), twins Thomas & Hubert (1898), Michael (1900), Edward (1901).

1911 census says married 24 years, 7 children/7 living. I think they didn't understand the question & just counted their living children. 24 years takes marriage c1887 or so.

After collecting Glaslough McMurrers it looked like Arthur's parents were John McMurrer & Catherine Sherlock. Last night (with the help of a 3 month subscription to Ancestry) I found several family trees and one, with reliable details, also gave them as Arthur's parents.

John McMurrough (c1818-17 Jan.1900 Glaslough), butcher, m. Catherine Sherlock (c1836-1 Nov.1891 Glaslough). Children: ?Arthur (c1858), Thomas (c1859), John (c1861), Mary Ann (1864), Francis (1866), Catherine (1868), twins Margaret & Mary Ann (1871), Joseph (1873), Henry (1876).

Many thanks to everyone. Off to do some more searching ...

Hello Aghadowey, Arthur McMurrough was my great grandfather and son Michael(1900) my grandfather. If you have any information on Catherine Sherlock or Joanna Starrs I would be grateful to receive it also from earlier parents. I've added an attachment from 22 may 1922 concerningMichael's elder brother Arthur. By the way are we related via the McMurroughs?
