Title: Census lookups 91, 01 -Murphy
Post by: Eric-C on Tuesday 03 July 07 00:52 BST (UK)
Searching for my G'mothers family who moved from Ireland to Whitehaven and back to Ireland.
In 1881 I have at 21 Roper Street
Robert MURPHY  Head     M  Male age 26 b Ireland Printer Compositor
Lizzie MURPHY     Wife     M  Fem age 30 b  Ireland 
Elizabeth D.      Daur U  Fem    6 b Ireland Scholar
Sarah H.      Daur U  Fem    4 b Whitehaven Scholar
Robt.Henry      Son   U  Male    3 b Whitehaven Scholar
Mary Jane      Daur  U Fem    1 b Whitehaven
Mary jane is my Gm.

In 1891 I have a possible match, address unknown.
Robert Murphy abt 1855   Ireland   Head
Elizth Murphy    abt 1851   Ireland   Wife
Lizzie       abt 1875   Ireland   Daughter
Sarah Hannah   abt 1877   Whitehaven, Daughter
Robt Henry   abt 1878   Whitehaven, Son
Mary Jane   abt 1880   Whitehaven, Son
Martha Js   abt 1884   Whitehaven, Daughter
Ebenezer   abt 1885   Whitehaven, Son
Wilfred       abt 1888   Whitehaven, Son
John James   abt 1890   Whitehaven, Son

Can anyone confirm them at what address. Also are any of them still around in 1901.
There is also a Margaret, birthdate unknown

The next info I have is Mary jane marries my Gf abt 1907 in N.Ireland. Several of the family also appear back in NI.

Thanks in anticipation,
Eric

Can't see any of them in the 1901 census,
not unless the daughter/s married.

Old age must be creeping up on me.
I was so blown away at finding all this info, that I forgot to reply with thanks, so here it is.
Daisy and Willow, thanks a TON.
The family appear to have moved back to N.Ireland before 1901 so I am trying to find them over the water.
The 1901 NI census is not as easily accessible online and I dont know where they moved to, but I will just have to keep scratching.
Thanks again,
Eric-C

Yes, the family, less Ebenezer, are back in Belfast for 1901/1911 census.
There is a possible death for Ebenezer, 8 yrs, in Whitehaven about 1893 4th quarter.

Thanks again to all who helped.

I will continue my search in belfast.
