 Thank you for that information Shorts.  I do know that the Cliffords figure in our history and they currently live in Wales.  So, the connection with Marcella Clifford seems to be significant.

There is some talk in the family that Capt George Murphy was actually married twice, with a mention that it was to 2 women with the same name!

Such a strange place to be for a Master Mariner!   ;)   Why didn't I think of that!?

Thanks nickr90

Hello there

Just a point of clarification - Captain George Murphy married Elizabeth Carthy had 6 children .... John, Kathleen (my mother), Vera, Marcella, Elizabeth and George.  All now deceased.

They lived at 25 The Faythe.

An earlier post by nickr90 shows that in the 1901 census, 25 The Faythe was occupied by John Francis Murphy but there is no mention of George Murphy who was born 1856/7 and so would have been about 45 yrs old and presumably living elsewhere at that age, but where?

He is then posted as living at The Faythe at the time of the wrecking of the Fleetwing in 1919 on the Welsh coast.

I believe he married Elizabeth Carthy in about 1920.

Anymore information from anyone?
