Hi I'm looking for some information on my great great grandfather and his family. I don't know much about him. On my great grandfather's death certificate it stated that his father came from County Cork and his mother from County Waterford. From the info I have gathered so far, he was born around1831, might have immigrated to Brooklyn, New York around 1860. His wife's name was Mary and all their children were born in New York. Thank You.
Sorry, I forgot to add that on my great gradfather's marriage document he listed his father's name as Edward James Murray.

I looked at the subscription site Roots Ireland and located four Edward/Edmond Murray baptismal records in Co. Cork from 1829-1832. We would need to know the parents names of Edward to see if any of these records pertain to your great-great grandfather. Some RC parishes do not have records back to 1830. By the way, none of the four records showed a father named James. Let us know if you have any other family information.

I don't have the names of his parent's unfortunately. But thanks for your help anyway.
