Title: Peter Walker & Mary Murphy Cork St- Donore Ave
Post by: Dubchick on Sunday 09 October 22 14:58 BST (UK)

Hi does anyone know anything about Mary Murphy who married Peter Walker in St.Catherine's Meath St in 1897. I believe Mary is a sister of my great Grandmother Ellen Murphy.

I have their civil  marriage records and found them on census.  Marriage records show that Mary and Ellen"s father is James Murphy   1901 census says she was born in Co. Dublin not Dublin City. Anyone know the Dublin City limit for census  purposes?
Have asked St.Catherines for church marriage certs but haven't got them yet.

Just wondering if there are some Walker ancestors ls out there that know more about Mary's father James Murphy don't know his wife's name or his address.
Peter and Mary walker lived on Donore  Ave.

You can't always completely trust the information found in Census.
1901 Census says Peter was born in Co Wicklow and 1911 says he was born in Dublin City.
1901 Census says Mary was born in Co Dublin  and 1911 says she was born in Dublin City

Thanks, I got their church marriage certificates from St.Catherine's in Meath Street, so got Mary  and Ellen Murphy's mother's names. One record said there mother was Kate Merry and another Catherine Merriman. Anyway they were born in Harold's Cross which may have been considered Co. Dublin in 1901 and then by 1911 it was considered Dublin City.
