Hi everyone,

I'm researching the following family...

Matthias MURPHY married Anstice MULDOWNY 1814 Kilkenny. I have their marriage record, unfortunately it doesn't mention their parents or date of birth.

Only child found so far:
Matthew MURPHY born 1815 Cork, Ireland

Matthew MURPHY married Hanorah (Nora) (O)SHEA in 1840 Cork

Only child found so far:
John MURPHY born 1841 Cork, Ireland (from John's death certificate, it looks like he may have been born in Youghal)

John MURPHY married Eliza MOFFAT/MORPHET in Victoria, Australia, 1873.

The SHEA family...
John (O)SHEA married Hanorah MURPHY (year?)

Only child found so far:
Cornelius SHEA born 1817 Cork

Cornelius SHEA married Narry LEARY 1817
