CorkGlanmire (Cork)

Hi My great grandfather Timothy Murphy was a farmer in Ballyhesty. He married Margaret Mulcahy inRC Chapel Knockavilla, Inishannon, Co Cork on the 18th June 1871. I have found 6 of their daughters

Mary Anne known as "Moll" (1872-1940) married Frank Keogh. They had a drapery business in the North Main Street in Cork City.

Bridget (1874-1906) married Patrick Twohill, a farmer in Ballymurphy Lower, Coole, Co Cork.

Margaret was born 1876

Ellen Mary known as Nell (1878-1964) my grandmother married William Edward Williams. They too had a shop in Cork City.

Katherine "Katie" was born 1883

Mary Theresa date of birth not known

Timothy died on 12th June 1892 and was buried in Whitechurch 2 days later. Is this graveyard online anywhere?

Is anyone else researching this family?
