Does anyone have a Barry William Grogan Murphy in their lineage?
He was my gg grndfatherand lived and worked in Dublin. He married an Anne Rooan and they had 5 children from 1830 onwards.
The only place where I have been able to find any Barry Murphys is in Cork so I am hoping that the name means something to someone researching Murphys (or Grogans and Rooans).
I do not have any other details about him I'm afraid. Any help will be welcome. Thanks, Pauline

Pauline,
As you seem to know about William & Anne's five children you might already have their birth details.
There is another one on irish genealogy site
John Grogan Murphy baptism year 1838
Parents Barry William Grogan Murphy & Anne
At St Andrews RC Dublin
Sponsors John Grogan & Jane Cooney
Hope this helps

Hi Mary, thanks for your reply. Yes I have all that are listed but have been unable to locate Barry William.
It is not exactly a common first name. The Grogan input is also of interest to me and I suspect belonged to a cousin or other family that married a Murphy.
Thanks again, Regards, Pauline

Hi Celtic Liberty, Not sure if the 1st reply went to you. Thanks for the info but I have all the details of the listed children (5 in all) I just cannot find Barry William.
Interestingly the names have been reversed for this son..all the others show Barry Murphy.
The names William and John are the family names that have prevailed. Barry and Grogan got lost along the way. Thanks, Pauline
