Hello Rose  :)

It would be good if we could find a connection, but it could be very difficult.  I have had no success in finding any of my Irish connections because they all seem to be too early.

Here's hoping  :)

Hello Elsie

I am a descendant of Patrick & Mary Mullins, through their youngest son John William who was born in Melbourne and died in Bendigo.

I have a photograph of a group of miners at Bendigo, one of whom we believe is Patrick Murphy.   I would like to know the death date of Patrick.   I have not really found a death that confirms his death - one of a Patrick on the gold fields and no details are known because the informant did not know any.  I have Mary's death certificate which states her father's name was Jeremiah.   You state that the father of Patrick is Jeremiah as well.

I hope that you are interest in details of our desendancy.   I have cut the photo to just him as the whole photo was too large.

I thought forward to hearing from you.   

Sincerely

Almareta

Hello from Australia!

I have recently received a death certificate for a gr gr gr uncle, Richard Murphy, and in the section for birthplace is written near Newmarket. So I'm dipping my toes into the water using this information in the anticipation this lead might help find my Murphy family.

Patrick Murphy (b circa 1802) married Mary Mullins about 1826 as that is when their son, Richard is born (as per death certificate). Other children born in County Cork, Ireland were Mary, Ellen, Cornelius, Johanna, Patrick, Jeremiah and Timothy. The family emigrated in 1844.

Patrick's father was named Jeremiah, but I don't know the name of his mother.

How do I proceed to try to find information about this family?

I would appreciate help from Chatters to find my elusive Murphys.

Cheers

Elsie

Hello Elsie

I found your message yesterday when I came across Webchat.com and was very pleased to see it as I am a descendant of Patrick Murphy and Mary Mullins through their youngest son John William born in Melbourne and died in Bendigo.  He married Margaret Ellen Kennedy and after her death Selena Johns.

I would be very interested to be in touch to swap information on both our lines.   John William was my great grandfather.  I have not been able to find anything regarding their family in Ireland. 

I am in touch with a couple of other Murphy descendants as well.

Cheers

Almareta
