Philip Murray & Anne Sheedy married 1831

KilkennyCallan (Kilkenny)

I am descended from Philip Murray & Anne Sheedy or Sheehy who married in Borrisokane in 1831. Their son Patrick Philip Murrray 1846 - 1929 was my great grandfather. I know Philip & Anne had a daughter Mary in 1832 but have so far identified no other children.

I would be grateful for any help finding other children & any of their livingdecendants. Philip in 1837,and Patrick in 1864, joined the 87th regiment RIF in 1837, so if Anne stayed at home, theremay be a gap in childrens' births but I would expect others between 1833 & 1846.Philip died in Cashel Barracks in 1854, I do not know when or where Anne died.

Thank you.

Dear pavonia

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

RC records for Borrisokane begin in 1821 with missing dates for marriages between January and October 1844. There is a baptism record on www.rootsireland.ie for a Mary Murray in Co. Tipperary in 1832 as you say. This Mary was born to a father Philip and a mother surname Sheehan. As it is a subscription site I am limited in what I can see, but I assume that this is the information you already have on her. There is also a record of a Patrick born to a father Philip Sheehan in Co. Tipperary in 1843. It might be a good idea to have a look so that you can rule it in or out.

Did Patrick emigrate? If not, you could check the 1901 Census:
