MURPHY (Phillip) & LAMPORT (Mary) of Bog West: Parish of Mayglass, Diocese of Ferns
My MURPHY ancestors went to Australia from the townland of Bog West near Mayglass in County Wexford, Ireland. Dennis MURPHY, son of Phillip MURPHY (c1793-1867) and Mary LAMPORT (c1780 -?), emigrated from Ireland with his spouse, Jane Elizabeth MURPHY (nee WHEELOCK), and children on the clipper ship 'Shalimar' arriving in Victoria, Australia, on 9 February 1855. Dennis was about 43 years of age when he arrived. Dennis MURPHY had been a farmer in Ireland and he became a cab proprietor in Melbourne, Victoria.
Dennis and Jane MURPHY are buried in the Melbourne General Cemetery, Victoria. Their children were William James (13 years), Mary (10 years), Philip Charles (7 years), James (4 years) and Jane Elizabeth (infant). Only William James MURPHY and his brother James MURPHY had children in Australia. Philip Charles MURPHY died in Greymouth, New Zealand.
I am a great grandson of William James MURPHY (c1841-1909), grandson of George Davidson MURPHY (1880-1933) and son of George 'Lionel' MURPHY (1914-1976).
The last MURPHY to have lived at house 2 in Bog West, County Wexford, was Mary MURPHY who, at the time of the 1911 Census of Ireland (according to the National Archives of Ireland), was aged 69 years. In 1911, Mary - who never married - lived with her brother-in-law, James KING, a widower aged 55 years, and his son, James KING aged 20 years. James KING had married Bridget MURPHY (daughter of John MURPHY, farmer) on1 Feb 1883. Bridget KING (nee MURPHY) died some time between 1890 and 1901.
There are entries in the Baptismal Register of the Mayglass Catholic Church for the (combined) Mayglass and Ballymore Parish in the Diocese of Ferns, County Wexford, for some of my MURPHY ancestors.
I believe the siblings of Phillip MURPHY include John MURPHY (c1814-?), Walter MURPHY (c1822-?) and James MURPHY (1823-?).
I also believe Mary LAMBERT was christened 29 Aug 1780 in the Parish of Old Ross, Carnagh, Ballyanne and Cushintown, County Wexford.
Important surnames in Daryl's family tree (in alphabetical order) are ADAMS, DONOHUE, DOYLE, GLADMAN, HARRISON, KING, LAMPORT or LAMBERT, MARONEY, MURPHY, POWELL and WHEELOCK.
As to specific information I'm looking for, I'd be delighted to learn:
(1) what happened to Dennis MURPHY's (c1812-1895) parents, namely, Phillip MURPHY (c1793-1867) and Mary LAMPORT/LAMBERT (c1780-?) ? Did they die in County Wexford or did they too emigrate and, if so, where to?
(2) BDM information about siblings of Dennis MURPHY.
(3) ancestral information about Phillip MURPHY and his spouse (including their siblings).
At a more general level, I'm keen to (1) connect with my MURPHY Irish relatives, (2) confirmation of my researching so far or corrections that I need to make and (3) connect with other genealogists with an interest in my particular MURPHY ancestors.
