James Murray, Killeen, Borrisokane

Thank you. 

Thank you for that. Sorry for this long reply but I hope it helps. There are no burials in the online parish records at nli.ie.& I do not have a subs to rootsireland so I do not have death dates. I have made 6 points below. 

[1] Judith and Michael Hogan had the following children Mary 1834, James 1836, Margaret 1839. I have not been able to find a marriage of a James Hogan with father Michael. I found a possible marraige for Mary

[2] I found the following documents at NAI & have commissioned copies to be made by a private researcher as I received no reply directly from NAI; she will report in early August 2021. I am hoping James named his sons in these letters.

2.1 Memorial of James Murray, formerly of the 5th Dragoon Guards, Borrisokane, County Tipperary, calling for the appointment of his second son to the water guard service.
Reference:CSO/RP/1834/4606 Date:27 Nov 1834
Memorial of James Murray, formerly of the 5th Dragoon Guards, Borrisokane, County Tipperary, to Richard Wellesley, 1st marquis Wellesley, Lord Lieutenant, calling for the appointment of his second son to the water guard service; describing himself as an ‘old soldier’ of 28 years’ service, he notes that his elder son is also serving the crown in the 61st Regiment of Foot in Ceylon [Sri Lanka]. Also damp press copy reply from Lieutenant Colonel Sir William Gosset, Under Secretary, Dublin Castle.Extent:2 items; 4ppReference: WO 12/7116

2.2 File of documents concerning an application from Murray for appointment of his son to the police constabulary of County Tipperary.
Reference: CSO/RP/1834/906
Date: c1 Jan 1834-26 Feb 1834
File of documents concerning an application from Murray for appointment of his son to the police constabulary of County Tipperary. Includesletter from Maj William Miller, [Inspector General of Police in Munster], Cork,[County Cork], to Lieutenant Colonel Sir William Gosset, Under Secretary,stating that he cannot accede to a request for the appointment to the police of the son of James Murray, late of the 5th Dragoons, on account of his ‘being a married man’. 

[3] I do know there was a Philip Murray in Upperchurch but although probably related is not my direct Murray family. 

[4] A James Murray gave evidence at a trial in 1829 for the murder of a Michael Hogan in Borrisokane; James said he had been in the 5th Dragoon Guards or 2nd Horse. Also witness Mary Murray lived on Portumna Road. She had a 'baby in her arms belonging to her daughter' so she was not a Murray herself originally & daughter would not now be a Murray. 2 injured men taken to Murray's house. I do not know if the murdered man was the father of Michael husband of Judith.

[5] In Griffiths Valuation, I don't know the date.  there are:

5.1 Hogan Judith Shesheraghmore Borrisokane Tipperary
Hogan Michael Shesheraghmore Borrisokane Tipperary

who may be Philip's sister & brother in law. 

5.2 Tithe applotment for Killeen Tithe applotments found for Killeen ca 1825 & 1833, plot 118 Philip Murray, but this 1814 Philip surely too young to be tenant then, 1 acre [Michael Hogan, poss husband or father in law of Judith Murray, Philip's sister, in plot 120]. Also a Jas Murray in Killeen no plot number with 5 acres

[6] I think Daniel Murray died in India in 1857 while serving in the 87th Regiment. 

 

Thank you agsain for your interest.

Could I ask what researcher you are using for your records.

Myriam

 

I am only using a local researcher to get copies of the items at NA in Dublin, I have done all of the research myself. I Have no problem telling you who it is but am wary of putting her name on a public forum. Is there any way we can personal messages / email addresses off forum?

Hi Pavonia my email is myriamscott@bigpond.com.au
