Burial location of GGF (1858-1947), John Timothy Murphy

Hi! I’m at wits’ end to locate burial site of my GGF , John Timothy Murphy (1858, Jan 30, Donoughmore , mid- Cork - 1947, Mar 3, St Patrick’s Military Hospital , Cork City) I’m also untested in learning about his elder son , Timothy (Tadgh) Murphy (1855, Nov 14, Donoughmore , mid- Cork > 1905 in County Cork. Due to illness ?). Cheers , TM

Mary , my 2GGU , Tadgh (Timothy ) Murphy was born on Nov 14 , 1855 , the eldest of four children ,born to Timothy John Murphy , pig farmer and assorted crop farmer ((1812, Mar1> 1901 Apr 1, Cork City ) and Margaret O’Mahony ( 1823, Aug 19, Berrings, Iniscarra , Cork > 1873/4) , my 2 GGPs. They married on Jan 32 1855 at St Mary’RC, Berrings, Iniscarra, Cork. (June 3, 2026) Yes , Mary , Timothy (Tadgh)(1855, Nov 19- Baptism -???) is indeed elder brother of my GGF , John T Murphy (1858, Jan 30- 1947, Mar 3) . However , I do not know where my 2GGU is buried , either . My late GA wrote an autobiographical diary over 60 y (1910-1970) in which she states that her Uncle was sickly and died before 1911 census after marrying Galway woman .cheers , TM 🇦🇺

Mary, much obliged . Could you find the same Tadgh Murphy’s DoM and DoD and burial location . My late GU surmised it was before 1911 census? And my GGF’s burial location no-one can help me unless they know cemetery . I’ve contacted St Patrick’s Military hospital modern incarnation and they allege their archival records do not go back to 1947. Please continue assisting me as I’m in Australia. Cheers!
