Looking for origin of this family. Mary Catherine Murphy, daughter of Anthony Murphy, was born about 1858,1859. Do not know mother's name-have reason to believe it could be Ruane. Another name associated is Conricote/Bonniconlon. Mary Catherine settled in Youngstown, OH and married Patrick Rochford.

One complication for your research is that RC church baptismal records for Kilgarvan do not start until 1870. Marriages start in 1844. I was not able to find an Anthony Murphy marriage in Kilgarvan on Roots Ireland www.rootsireland.ie
The 1856 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing does not show an Anthony Murphy in Kilgarvan parish.
There is a Anthony Murphy in the nearby parish of Attymass in Corrower townland. Corrower is only 7 kilometers from Bonniconlon.
Could not find a location for Conricote.

Thanks for the tips.I also have looked at rootsireland. I am guessing Kilgarvin and Bonniconlon. The only evidence I have for this is a travel record in 1905 that shows my grandfather traveling with a Julia Conrecode, who was "cousin to Mrs. Rochford", and they are coming from Ballina. I did some digging and found a great granddaughter to Julia, who said the family grew up in Bonniconlon. In the US, they used the spelling of Conricote. I have had several DNA matches to different people with Ruane in their tree, and they lived in Bonniconlon. So, I have lots of suggestions, just hoping to look for some answers!
Thanks,
Maureen
