John Murphy and Catherine Clifford of Cloughleafin, Cork
I am looking for birth, marriage, and death (including gravesites) records for my gg grandparents, John Murphy and Catherine Clifford. They raised their family in Cloughleafin, Cork, Ballindangan Parish. They were Roman Catholic. Children- Honora 1843-1926 m. John Fogarty in Ballindangan, Bridget 1845-1936 m Thomas Shanahan in Australia, John 1847 m Mary O'Brien in Ballindangan, Johanna 1852, and Daniel 1854. I have birth records for all of the children. Honora was married in 1865 and John in 1875. Neither of their marriage records show John, their father, deceased.
In the Tithe Applotment, there was a John Murphy listed. Maybe John's father.
| Name | John Murphy |
| Residence Date | 1825 |
| Residence Place | Cloughfin, Kilgullane, Cork, Ireland |

There was a Daniel Murphy (1809-1893) m. Margaret Hayes living in Cloughleafin. Maybe John's brother or cousin. They were godparents for each other's children.
Jane Clifford and Thomas Tobin lived across the street from each other in Cloughleafin. Clifford house is still being occupied. They were married in 1823 and moved to Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. Jane might have been Catherine's aunt.
Any help finding more info on John and Catherine would be appreciated. I have checked RootsIreland. There is an 1859 marriage record for a John Murphy and Catherine Clifford in Cork on Ancestry but that would be too late. I do have a tree on Ancestry with records for most of their children and their families.
Thank you- Mary
