Hi Doire,
I would be a distant relative of yours as I am a member of the Murphy family that still resides in the Kinturk townland. I have access to a document which sets out the Murphy family history from their arrival in Kinturk from County Wexford some time around the Wexford Revolution in 1798.
Family rumour has it that they Murphy's were banished from Wexford with the instruction to keep travelling west and not look back until they could see the sea ! The Murphy current residence in Kinturk is about 15 miles from the Atlantic Ocean but it can be seen from there so there must be some element of truth in the rumour. What they may have done in Wexford to warrant their exit is still not known!
The document I refer to was given to another relative some time ago so I will try to get that back and can share more specifics with you.

Hello Brian
Welcome to Rootschat. Thank you for responding to my post and for sharing your Murphy information.
Have you researched your Murphy line in Kinturk?

Hello Doire,
Yes I have. A Tadhg Murphy and 3 sons arrived in Kinturk sometime after the 1798 Wexford Revolution and I would be a direct line descendant. Once I get hold of the document I referred to earlier I can share more of that with you if you are intererested.
The McGuane and Haren families are also still resident in the Kinturk townland.

Hello Brian
Yes, I would be very interested in hearing more on the Murphy origions in Kinturk.
Do you know if any members of the McGuane and Haren families are interested in family research? I had been to the Banner County last year researching but time beat me!
Many thanks,
Marie

Hi Brian,
Did you ever get the Murphy of Kinturk documentation?

Hi Marie,
I have now got the Murphy family history in Kinturk. That information goes back as far as my great-great-grandfather. Unfortunately there is no record in that of Hannah Murphy which leads me to think that your Hannah may not have come from the Murphy household in Kinturk. As you would know there should be a marriage record of Hannah and your Haren ancestor in the Kilmaley marriage records if Hannah was a Kinturk Murphy. Also I would expect to see her on the list of girls attending Kinturk school but there is no record of her there either as far as I can see.

Hello Brian,
I have the information of Hannah Murphy she married John Haren (of Tullaghaboy) in Kilmaley Parish 22 February, 1852. Witnesses at the marriage were Patrick Haren and Michael Murphy.
Would Kinturk school have been established in 1830's?
Marie

Hi Marie,
Thanks for the information on that marriage, that puts us back into the possibility of being related then I guess!
On the Kinturk school listing I was incorrect, the records available are only from 1864 onwards. Hannah is not on the Kilmaley baptism records going back to 1831 but I understand those records are only partial ones and Hannah may have been born before that date anyway.
I have another Haren in my family tree who was the wife of my great great grandfather ( a Michael Murphy) whose name was Mary and it would seem they were married sometime between 1850 and 1855 but that is all I know of her.

Hello Brian,
I am presently recording all the Baptismal records for Kilmaley Parish 1828 - 1880. This is a very slow and long process because the writing is atrocious.
These may be of some interest to you.
James Murphy & Bridget O'Brien of Kinturk had Judy Murphy baptised April, 1831.
Sps: Timothy & Anne Murphy
Michael Murphy & Bridget D...... of Kinturk had Catherine Murphy baptised on 8 June, 1831.
Sps: Patrick Fitzgerald & Margaret Murphy
Michael Murphy & Mary Lynch of Kinturk had Nanna Murphy baptised 23 June, 1834.
Sps: Denis & Mary Murphy
James Murphy & Catherine Sexton of Kinturk had Bridget Murphy baptised 15 April, 1834.
Sps: Peter Murphy & Mary Frawley.
My Hannah Murphy Haren was still alive at the 1911 Census.

Brian, do you get the Kilmaley Magazine?

Hi, I am new to this list, but recognized the Mc.Guane name. My connection is Bridget Mc.Guane who was born about 1808 in Ennis, Clare. She married Matthew Meere and had at least two children, Catherine, (my ancestor) born about 1833, and Michael about 1836, both of whom imigrated to Australian, and each died within ten years. Bridget died on 24 Dec at Drumbigil, Clare, probably at the home of one of her other children. Her husband ended his life three years later in the Workshouse.

Hello Heather,
Welcome to RootsChat. McGuane is a very popular surname in Clare. Have you checked Clare Library online? www.clarelibrary.ie they have an excellent Genealogy section. Ennis have their baptisms online, you may find something of interest there too.

Hi folks,

my maternal 2x great grandparents were Michael Murphy who married Jane portill in 1860,
Pateley Bridge, Yorkshire, iv'e no idea where my Michael came from in Ireland but Jane was
from Co Clare.
Jane Portill's father was a Simon Portill, deceased at the time of Jane's marriage a farmer.
All the best.

Hi Derek,
I am sure you know that Murphy is the most popular surname in Ireland. Does it state on the marriage cert where Michael Murphy came from?
Have you checked www.clarelibrary.ie for excellent sources on family research.
All the best,
Marie

Hi Marie ;)
sadly Michael & Jane's marriage certificate does not state where Michael was born,
its possible they met in Leeds area.
Never mind just thought id'e ask.
Thanks for reply.
All the best.
Derek ;)
