Hi Bob,

I searched www.rootsireland.ie/ for death records of Joanns Murphy in all counties 1905 + - 6m years but got no matches. I then tried John Murphy in Dublin and got 12 but none seems to match

The closest is John Murphy who died in 1905 aged 51 but he was 51 in the 1901 census!

It is possible to check the parish of the record and it seems all 12 were from Deansgrange RC parish. 

They were RC on the census so that matches.

There are 14 Ann Murphy death records 1920 + - 20 years in Deansgrange so you might want to google Deans Grange Cemetery and have a look there
