Michael Murray His Daughter

Cork

Michael Murray My Uncle , was a Taxi Driver, lived at 27 Winters Hill in Cork. According to the Family he was never married. His death certificate 1941 age36 from Mercy Hospital (Cork) stated that he was married. It was said that his Daughter was born when he was 34 (1939). She passed away when she was 2 (1941) His daughter is buried in the family Plot at St. Joseph cemetery Cork ( I don’t have her first name). The only information I have on the Mother is that she went by the name Queenie.
N.B. The original Headstone was changed in 1992. None of the information was transferred to the new Headstone.
Please Help
Thanks in advance

Hi Mike,

The only thing I was able to find was a marriage of a Michael Murray born 25-Jan-1905 in Carrigtwohill who married a Hanna Josephine Wakefield at St Patricks Cork on 2nd February 1930.

His parents were Michael Murray & Bridget Burke. No other records are public, sorry

Knowing the wife of Michael Murray you might be able to order a death or birth certificate for their daughter from the HSE website, http://www.hse.ie/eng/services/list/1/bdm/Certificates/

Hope this can help you a bit

The date that Queenie remarried is wrong on the record it should read 20 Feb 1955 not 1975

Mike:

A Ellen  M Murray was born March 1934 in Cork city, mothers lastname Wakefield, as there were no other Wakefields married to Murray's I think this could be the daughter, even though the birthyear is off by 5 years. No other children listed for this couple
