I am researching the family of a Johana Keeffe (c 1828-1898) and Thomas Murphy married about 1855-1860 with at least one son, Michael Thomas Murphy supposedly born in 1863 and emigrated to Boston in 1883. Johana was first married to a David Nunan / Noonan in 1844 with whom she had several children, including at least: Denis 1845, Mary 1849, William abt 1854, David 1855. David and Johana's children were baptized in Kinsale and Clontead / Ballymartle parishes. Some time later they relocated to the area south of Cork city between Toher and Carrigaline. In Griffiths Valuation there was a David Nunan living adjacent to a Michael Murphy in the townland of Kilnahone. I am exploring the theory that this is Johana's husband David and possibly future father-in-law, or other future in-law, Michael Murphy. There is some evidence that Johana and/or David also had connections in the vicinity of Ballinhassig.
