SEARCHING MY MURPHY FAMILY

Tracing my irish family tree found in the 1901 census 

Residents of a house 172 leeson park avenue (rathmines and rathgar east dublin)

surname  age   sex   relation to head   religion  birthplace  occupation    marial status 

kelly mary       6     female     grand child      r.catholic  dublin     scholar        not married

Greeg  maria   49   female head of family  church of ireland  monaghan private income  widow

murphy anne   50    female sevant              r.catholic     wicklow    general servant  married

murphy john    51    male   husband           r.catholic     dublin        stable man      married

murphy michael  14 male   son                 r .catholic     dublin       scholar            not married

murphy  thomas   11 male  son                r.catholic      dublin         scholar        not married

murphy patrick     19  male  son               r.catholic      dublin        van driver      not married

now it seems maria greeg died in 1904.leaving all her money to her son

also john murphy died leaving anne murphy a widow

in the 1911 census will show.also that john murphy and anne murphy had more sons.

because of the death of maria greeg, the murphy family had to find a new home

1911 census

residents of a house 1.2 in westmoreland park 9rathmines and rathgar east dublin.

surname forname   age  sex  relation to head of family  religion birthplace  occupation  marital status 

murphy peter         39    male    son                          r.catholic   dublin grocer porter single

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

now two of the sons of john murphy and ann murphy never married

peter murphy born 1872

patrick murphy  born 1883

thomas murphy married mary ann duffy in 1921

leaving just michael murphy born 1887 

so the grand children murphy dick.murphy mary.murphy peter could not be michael murphy children he was far to young

so as his family say john murphy and ann murphy had at least 7 children and one daughter not in the census.

ann murphy born 1851

so when peter murphy was born in 1872 ann murphy would have been 21 years old

                                               gap of 10 years

              patrick murphy was born in 1882 ann murphy would have been 31 years old

                                               gap of 5 years   

              michael murphy was born in 1887  ann murphy would have been 36 years old

                                               gap of 3 years

               thomas murphy was born in 1890 ann murphy would have been 39 years old   

so there was time for more children

can we find these children thomas murphy was baptized at leeson park avenue?

can we find john and ann murphy marraige date.

can we find john murphy father and mother

also it seems that john murphy was a stable man in trinity college

his son thomas murphy born 1890.  who died in 1937 was working in trinity college

thomas murphy son  patrick francis murphy born 1926 worked in trinity  college until he retired in 1991,
