Heywood,

In all likelihood it must be. I had just found that before your posting.

Now that I have all the additional information provided today I can do some more digging!

 Gaffy,

Wow, thanks a lot for this!

I am researching on behalf of my mother in law who is a grandchild of Eleanor.

You are hardly a distant cousin??!

Aghadowey, Tina,

Thanks for the research above.

Other information on the family I have is that the Patrick Kearns was a policeman in the UK but returned to Ireland after the death of his brother Ambrose.

As mentioned already Patrick married a Catherine Tarpey and had the following children:

Molly  - who subsequently married a James Friel
Elizabeth ( Elsie) - who subsequently married a Patrick Demspey
Sean - unmarried - died young

I am just hoping someone recognises some of the names above as the various family trees available do not seem to shed any light on the maiden name of Ellen Kearns

Looking for information on the above family as they were listed per 1911 Census:

John Kearns Age 50
Ellen Kearns Age 38
Patrick Kearns Age 22
Molly Kearns Age 15
Ambrose Kearns Age 14

The Patrick Kearns above married twice, first to a Catherine Tarpey and then to Bridget Concannon.

The Ambrose Kearns above was killed in WW1 at Battle of the Sommes.

The Molly Kearns above possibly married an O'Malley man.

I am particularly interested in the Ellen Kearns above as I do not know her maiden name, all I do know is that she was from County Roscommon

Looking to trace relatives based on the following information sourced mainly from 1861 Census:

Bridget Murphy - Head of household - Age 61
Patrick Murphy - Son - DOB XX/XX/1838
Catherine Murphy - Daughter - DOB 28/07/1844
Peter Murphy - Son - DOB 09/08/1847
Bridget Conway - Daughter - DOB XX/XX/1823

It appears that sometime between 1851 and 1861 the above family members ( + others below) came from the Kinturk townland in Kilmaley parish, County Clare, Ireland. It is assumed that the time frame above is correct as there does not appear to be details of the family in the 1851 Census.

From other sources the following information has also been obtained:

Bridget Murphy was Bridget O'Brien before marrying James Murphy, it seems James Murphy was deceased at time of 1861 Census.

There were also the following additional children born to James & Bridget:
-Michael Murphy DOB 06/07/1835
-Judy Murphy DOB 02/04/1831
-Nora Murphy DOB 16/04/1833

Michael Murphy was married in 1857.

All children were born in Ireland.

It may be possible that the above family may have arrived in Wigan along with 2 brothers of James's, Patrick & Michael.

Hi Cathy,

Latest information I have on my Haren link is that Mary Haren was originally from Killernan in the Kilmurry Ibrickane parish. Apparently she lived very close to the graveyard there.

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.

I am looking for any relatives that may recognise the below information and may be able to provide additional information. I am particularly interested in the Murphy line.

My grandfather
Patrick Murphy born 1897, died 1986. Was married to Catherine Eustace born 1900, died 1993.
Patrick had following siblings: Bridget b 1893, d ????, Elizabeth b 1894, d 1976, Michael b 1895, d ???

My great-grandfather
Michael Murphy b 1855, d 1896. Was married to Mary King b 1863, d 1904.

My great-great-grandfather
Michael Murphy b ????, d ????. Was married to Mary Haren b ????, d ????. Information I have is that they had just 1 child, Michael referred to above.
Michael had a previous marriage to a Mary Organ. Records indicate they had 4 children, Patrick b 1844, Bridget b 1846, Mary b 1848, Michael b 1850. Last born most likely died in infancy due to later child with Mary Haren also being called Michael.

My great-great-great-grandfather
This is where the family tree gets muddled. There are records of a Timothy, Denis, Peter and also possibly a James & Michael Murphy living in Kinturk in or around 1826. However it has not been established to date which of these would be my g-g-g-g-grandfather.

Prior to the above it is believed that the Kinturk Murphy's arrived from Wexford sometime around the 1798 Rising but no link has been made back to Wexford to date
