I'm seeking any information on Thomas Hurley - Bapt 7/1/1855 in 'Murragh & Templemartin Parochial area'. His parents are listed as Jerh (I guess Jeremiah) Hurley and Mary Riordan. I cannot find anything on his parents births or marriage. He married Mary McKenna - date/place unknown. Their children were born in Australia so they may have even been married there. I also have no other information on Mary McKenna. Any help would be great.
Hi,
Thank you for your message., I hope that someone with information on the family contact you and helps you to further your research.
In the meantime, did you know that Irish Genealogy have uploaded records from the Diocese of Cork and Ross to their website free of charge? This diocese includes Murragh and Templemartin so any records from this parish pertaining to the family should be there.

Another very useful website is the Irish Times where they give an overview of what records are available in specific parishes. For Murragh and Templemartin follow this link:
