My grandmother was born in Louth county in 1899/1900, her parents were John Murray and Eliza Murray (nee Cavanagh) They married in Tullyallen, outside Drogheda, in 1895 and then living in Mell an area in Mellifont / Tullyallen Parish. They had a total of 5 children: Mary Jane (1897 - 1942), Elizabeth (1899 - ), Catherine (or Kathaleen) (1903 - )
William (1906 - )John (1908 - 1978)
My grandmother, Elizabeth, emigrated to Australia in 1928 and gave birth to my mother in 1931 in Melbourne. After that we have no idea what has become of her, She may have moved back to Ireland or stayed in Melbourne, All attempts to locate her have been futile.
I hope that by focussing on her brothers and sisters that some living relatives of her ie living relatives of Mary Jane, Catherine, William and John can be located in the Louth area and I can get some insight into what became of her. I do have some information about her brothers and sisters eg Mary Jane married Patrick Moore in 1919, and John married Sheila (Esther) McGraw.
Patrick Moore when he died in December 1974, the death notices states that he has brothers and sisters, sons and daughters and grandchildren.
Any information that someone can provide is appreciated.
Thankyou
