Murray

GalwayClonkeen (Galway)

I'm looking for information about my gg grandparents. James Murray, born 1801 and Mary, born 1809. We think her surname may have been Sharkey. We also think James hada brother named Felix.Both were from CountyLouth, Clonkeen Parish. They left Ireland in 1846 and went to New York City. Their children, also from Ireland, were Bridget, Patrick, John, Michael, Mary and Thomas. They embarked from Liverpool aboard the ship Regulus.

Hi Joe

Here is the marriage record from www.rootsireland.ie/:

http://Date of Marriage: 18-Dec-1831 Parish / District: TALLANSTOWN County: Co. Louth Husband Wife Name: James Murray Mary Sharky Address: Denomination: Roman Catholic Roman Catholic

No parents' names are included!

There are 2 baptism records of Mary - 1808 & 1810:

http://Name: Mary Sharkey Date of Birth: Date of Baptism: 09-Mar-1808 Address: Stackallen Parish/District: ARDEE Gender: Unknown County Co.

Closest match for James is:

It is promising that there is a record for each from TOGHER

I couldn't find Felix or any other siblings of James
