Looking for info on Julia Murphy, born about 1812, from Castleisland, Kerry. Her parents were Denis and Mary Murphy. Julia had two brothers (Jerry, born March 6, 1834 near Tralee, and Daniel) and a sister Margaret. Julia married Patrick O'Connor, Jr. (from County Limerick, although his parents died when he was very young) in the USA. Jerry also emigrated to USA, and most ended up in Indiana. Thank you.
Hi
Do you know much about their emigration? Dates - ? The reseans they left - who they might have travelled with etc? Often more infomration was given at the port of arrival - if you knew where they arrived this might be a source of further information.
If you haven't already - You could try checking the land records called the Tithe Applotment Books (1823-38) or the later Griffith's Valuation (1848-64) for the family.The Tithe Applotment Books (1823-38): Microfilm copies of the books for all of Ireland are available at the National Archives of Ireland (NAI) http://www.nationalarchives.ie/genealogy1/genealogy-records/tithe-applotment-books-and-the-primary-griffith-valuation/ or the Church of Latter Day Saints (LDS). Griffith's is freely available here: www.askaboutireland.com or here: www.failteromhat.com Failte Romhat has lots of other useful links you could try looking at.

I must apologize to you to wait so long to thank you for your efforts. Please forgive me. I have a little additional information. The parents of Julia Murphy were Jeremiah Murphy and Mary Edenden. Jeremiah was born in 1780 in Castleisland and died before 1850. Mary Edenden was born in 1790 in Ireland. Their child Julia was born in Castleisland in March 1812.
Thank you for your efforts. I have acquired a little more information. Julia Murphy's parents were Jeremiah Murphy, born in 1780 in Castleisland, died before 1850. Julia's mother was Mary Edenden, born in Ireland?, in 1790. I wish my family had more unusual names! Thank you.
