Looking for Peter Murtagh and family from Streete
WestmeathStreete (Westmeath)
Peter Murtagh married Mary Smythe Jan 29, 1838. Subsequently had 6 children: Peter, 1840; Margaret, 1842; Patrick, 1844; John (my GGfather), 1847; Mary, born and died in 1850; Edward, 1852; Michael "Murtha", 1857; Ann "Murtha", 1861. Don't know Peter's occupation, but he seems to have leased land from Richard Grenville and James Corcoran and re-leased portions to fellow townsmen in Ballynacarrigy, Rathcronan, and Granard. Any information about these Murtaghs/Murthas, or explanation of how these leasing arrangements worked would be much appreciated!
