Title: Michael John Murphy's mother?
Post by: debi1958 on Monday 19 July 10 23:10 BST (UK)

Hi. Trying to find name of Mother of Michael John Murphy born Wexford (Wexford Town)24 Sept 1908 , father Thomas. Have found 3 Michaels in 1911 census that match age and father being Thomas. Cant apply for birth cert unless have name of mother and that is who I am looking to confirm so that I can see which Michael in census is the right one. Only other information is that he had a least 2 siblings John and Kitty. Thanks

You dont need the name of Michael's mother to order a cert, just the GRO references. See :  Ordering Certs from GRO Roscommon (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,433040.0.html)  and Introduction to Irish Records (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,442233.0.html)

I'd start with this one in which seems to match all the info you have to date
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai003621365/

You have a Michael aged 3
a Father 'Thomas'
a Sibling called John
a Sibling called Catherine (I think Kitty is a common shortening of Catherine/Katherine/Kate etc)
