Mary Ellen Murphy was born in Rathpeacon in 1880. Her mother, Katherine or Catherine died in childbirth. Mary Ellen was the last of ten children, five boys and five girls. Her mother's maiden name was Reeves. The father was Timothy Murphy. Mary Ellen later married Michael Hayes and lived in Blackpool, Cork until her death in 1953. I have a lot of info on Mary Ellen but am very keen to find other branches of the Murphy family of Rathpeacon.
