Murtagh's from Aghamore
My Great GF Patrick Murtagh was married in 1852, to Bridget Cunnane (marriage recorded in Killedan parish record). They settled in Woodfield and raised their children in Woodfield (My GF Michael Murtagh) was born in Jan 1864. There were 2 other Murtagh families in the area...Hugh Murtagh (1829-1879) who married Honor Snee and Michael Murtagh who married Ellen Snee. I have many DNA connections with descendents of these 2 families..leading me to believe that Patrick, Hugh and Michael were siblings...
The name John, has featured as the name assigned to the first born son born in successive generations in male descendents of my GGF Patrick Murtagh as well as in Michael Murtagh (1822-1879)...making me wonder if the father of these men may have been named John. Of course these men were born in the 1820's -1830's, so records are hard to find.
Do these placenames and surnames ring any bells??
