Kilkenny / Re: Is This The Rarest Christian Name In All Ireland ? Abin !

OK sorry, I see what you mean, it's just I found all those variants as I mentioned in my first post in the castlecomer civil & parish records from the 19th century on rootsireland and familysearch and they referred to the same person just different spellings.

Birth : Elizabeth Brennan b.1870 Father Abbon Brennan Mother Mary Kelly
Baptism : Eliza Brennan1870 Father Abben Brennan Mother Mary Kenny

You can see what a headache I have had but I am sure I am not the only one :p

I have come across this in my own family searches, it's down to the people transcribing  the records. In many cases the "original" documents are almost illegible, and they do the best they can.

« on: Sunday 27 July 14 16:45 BST (UK)  »
My great grandfather
Paul Murphy supposedly born in Kilkenny,
going by census 1901 c.1840.
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Waterford/Waterford_Urban_No__3/Barrack_Street/1764168/

Going by death cert 3-3-1907 Age Given 58  (I have a civil research copy)

Waterford Gaol record from 1901 (truancy) also states Kilkenny City, Age given 61.  (1)


Paul Murphy was a Stonemason\Stone Cutter,
his father Joseph Murphy was also a Stonemason\Stone Cutter
who was deceased prior to Pauls wedding in 1882, Waterford.
I have a civil research copy of Paul's wedding in 1882,
Holy Trinity Within (The Cathedral) Waterford.

I have seen somewhere that the mother of Paul Murphy was " Ellen "
(can't find it currently)

My granduncle T F Murphy (Thomas Francis) lived in Poleberry, his ww1 protection paper had him as married, journalist. He died in Cork 1947.
He was a journalist with both the Munster Express (no records) and Cork Examiner (no records)
got married no idea as yet, but between 1911 and 1919.
1901 Census in case relevant: http://tinyurl.com/pxbd8s7 (drapers clerk)
1911 census living at home with his parents: http://tinyurl.com/ncqlzqu (journalist) his dad died 1907

I have been unable to trace him so far in Waterford after 1911
