Francis Murphy born about 1875 in Ireland and came tocadder Western District Lanark with his parents. He had brothers - John, Thomas and James and sisters margaret and elizabeth all born in scotland.
Father - Francis
Mother - Catherine Dunn (Kate)
Francis was my late fathers father who he never met. Francis died in Possilpark in 1954.

Hi Anne

Just a little on the family which I am not sure if you have. Francis birth is likely to have been in 1880 with the family coming over to Scotland after the 1881 census. This looks to be them on the 1891 Scottish census:

Francis Murphy 42, Freestone Quarry Labourer b. Ireland
Catherine Murphy 40, b. Ireland
John Murphy 16, b. Ireland
Elizabeth Murphy 13, b. Ireland
Francis Murphy 11, b. Ireland
Thomas Murphy 4 b. Cadder Parish
James Murphy 2 b. Cadder Parish

Address: Auchinairn, Cadder Western District

There are possible births showing for Ireland, which if you didn't have this info already, will give you an idea of where they came from in Ireland. From IGI at www.familysearch.org:

1. Mary Ann Murphy Birth: 30 JUL 1871, Tyrone, Ireland
2. John Murphy Birth: 01 OCT 1873, Tyrone, Ireland
3. Catherine Murphy Birth: 27 MAY 1875, Tyrone, Ireland
4. Elizabeth Murphy Birth: 13 APR 1877 Carnteel, Tyrone, Ireland
5. Francis Murphy Birth: 14 NOV 1880 Ballymagran, Tyrone, Ireland
