Searching for Information on the Family of Catherine Murphy, born ca.1817 in Kilmihil, County Clare
I recently had a DNA match that provided me with the names of Catherine's parents as John Murphy and Catherine. The match was descended from one of Catherine's younger siblings and grew up hearing stories from his great grandmother and her sister who had emigrated to the US. His family hadn't gotten any further back than Catherine's parents.
What I have:
Catherine Murphy married John Conway (possibly 1830-1831 based on the date of birth of their oldest child. I am thinking that they married in Kilmihil, since it was Catherine's parish
1. Michael born 15 May 1832 (possibly in Kilmihil)
2. Patrick baptized 15 Dec 1833 in Parish of Kilmaley, County Clare
3. Hanna born Oct 1865 (possibly in Kilmaley)
4. John baptized 25 Feb 1838 in Parish of Kilmaley, County Clare
5. Timothy baptized 14 Feb 1839 in Parish of Kilmaley, County Clare (most indices have transcribed the name in the register as Kitty, but you it is really Timothy)
6. Dennis baptized 26 May 1842 in Parish of Kilmaley, County Clare
7. Mary baptized 28 Oct 1844 in Parish of Kilmaley, County Clare
8. Bridget baptized 10 Oct 1847 in Parish of Kilmaley, County Clare
John Conway and Catherine Murphy and all the children eventually immigrated to the US.
Are their any records available for Kilmihil for the time period 1800 - 1832?
