Hi All
I am trying to find Michael Murray born in (meyles Carrickmacross) Moyles Carrickmacross in 1866 7th May.  I know from older family members he went to the United States not sure what year and he passed away there too.  He wasnt married.  Any idea where i could possibly look ...

Thanks all

Do you have an approximate timeline?

What about deaths of his parents?
Any siblings?
Did anyone else in the family emigrate?
Is anyone in the censuses?

Hi

Parents Bridget and Patrick Murray 11 brothers and sisters.  All accounted for expect Michael.  It is possible that he emigrated with his brother John he was just two years younger than Michael
I think I have found John in Chicago and married Margaret T Mc Court from Haggardstown in county louth. Still haven't found a marriage cert, but it says on John death cert he was from Inniskeen (Enniskeen) and the birth date is a few days out, but i don't think that is anything unusual.
All I know about Michael is his from his birth records, and he went to live in USA at some point, this clue came from my grandfather a few years back. and Michael died in America.. but that it.
I know its not much to go on.  But any help that this stage would be amazing...

Thanks

Hi Kiltaglassan

Thanks for the information on Michael Murray.  If you happen to come across anything else, such as
i know he went to America not sure what part and i think he died there too.  As far as i know he never married. 

Thanks again, every little bit of information helps..
