Murray/Murry, Power, Farnane Lower townland, Lickoran parish
I'm trying to prove that the Darby (Jeremiah) Murry (Murray) found in the Tithe Applotment book in the townland of Farnane Lower, Lickoran parish is my ancestor. My ancestor married a Connolly (possible a Conner) about 1780-1825. His son, John Murray was born ABOUT 1823 in Co. Waterford. I don't know John's 1st wife's name but they had a son Michael born in the 1840s and a daughter Bridget born ?, both in Co. Waterford. About 1859 or 1860 John immigrated to Savannah, Wayne Co. New York State and married Bridget Power. They had 5 children born there, John H., James, David , Edmond & Ella born 1861-1868. They also lived in near by Montezuma, Cayuga Co. NY. There are many Irish in this area of rural NY and many of them are from Co. Waterford. And many of the surnames associated with the Murrays in NY are found in this area of Co. Waterford, Power, Conner, Connelly, Casey, Coffee (Coffey), Burke, Nugent, Flynn, Kavanaugh, Cavanaugh Whalen, Cullen, Barns, Barron. Any help or advise is welcome. I can not find any marriage or baptism records for Darby/ Jeremiah's family. In many of the parishes in the area the records start too late. Only 1 Darby, and no Jeremiahs or Jeremys are to be found in the Tithe Applotment books for Co Waterford.
Warm regards, Pam
