Cork

Hi, all , I need help in locating siblings and parents of my 2GGF, Timothy Murphy , pig farmer of Bunkilla Farm, Fornacht via Donoughmore , Cork . He married Margaret Mahony (1823, Aug 29, Berrings via Iniscarra , Cork-1873, Cork ) at St Mary’s , RCcin Berrings on Jan 31 1855 and had 4 children , Timothy(1855) , John Timothy(1858) , Johanna (1861)and Bridget (1863), I think Timothy’s parents are either a John Murphy and Honora Cleary, my 3GGP, from Donoughmore and he was baptised on May 7 1809 or Timothy Murphy and Bette Waters(1779, Kilshannig via Mallow Cork ) or Hannah Lennehan , my 3GGP? I’d also need to know  how many siblings Timothy has and their respective DoBs-, John , Daniel , Patrick and Hannah ?? And where in Donoughmore Cross Old cemetery the Murphy Family vault is ?          
 Cheers , Tim Murphy (Melbourne, AU)

Hi all,

 

I've since found out that my 3GGP are Timothy Murphy, Farmer, and Joannah/Joanna/Joana Linehan/Lenihan (1788-?), both hailing from Bunkilla farmlands SE Donaghmore, Cork.They married in Mar 1 1810 in Donaghmore, Cork and had at least 6 children starting w my 2GGF, Timothy (1812-1902),.... John (1820-?), Darby (1824-?) , Hannah (1826-??, Daniel and Bridget.

Timothy Murphy, my 3GGF was evicted from Bunkilla farmland as tenant farmer at beginning of potato famine in 1847.

 

William Murphy (uncle/ father/ brother of groom) and Daniel Lenihan (father/ brother/uncle of brideare  listed as sponsors/ witnesses at 1810 wedding.  If anyone knows any more than this or purports to  be a fourth cousin, please get in touch asap.

Regards,

Leslie,

 

Cannot thank you enough.

 

How can I get in touch w John O'Connell from Stuake Donoghmore? Can he provide an 1847 map of all tenant farmers of Bunkilla farmlands, owned by Wyse, including plot use by  my 3GGF, Timothy Murphy? Might he know what 3GGF did after 1847?

 

yours expectantly,

 

Tim Murphy

3GGF Tinothy Murphy & Timothy Linehan evicted from tenant farms in 1849 by Henry Wyse landlord

Leslie , I ended up meeting John O’Connell in person in 2024 in Stuake w youngest first cousin of my late father . John drove both of us around Bunkilla estate where my 3GGF, Timothy Murphy (1782-1852) , his brother in law , my 4GGU, Timothy Linehan ( 1792- 1864) were both summarily evicted along w 30 other tenant farmers in July 1850 by English landlord , Henry Wyse . I know Linehans moved to Wisconsin and Minnesota while another son moved south to Derry Townland , SW of Donoughmore . Timothy Murphy & family moved to Fornacht / Derry ? Can anyone help out ? Where is then Murphy family vault ? It’s not at Donoughmore Old Cross cemetery as I visited there twice - overgrown w bushes, broken tombstones w only English landlords tombstones well legible and upright !! Cheers !
