;)Hi there. I am from New Zealand and I am trying to trace the Murphys from Galway. Know this is a huge task but am looking for Michael John Murphy - born in Galway abt 1848. She married Isabella Stewart - born Ireland abt 1850.They had children John,Florence, Wiliam,Emily, Alfred, Charles and Maude.
Michaels parents were John Murphy and Bidella Smith. I cannot find any information on exactly where they lived or what their occupations where while in Galway. Understand they were farm workers although some records state Michael was a commercial traveller. Michael is my Great Great Grandfather and I am keen to learn more about the Irish roots of my family.
Hoping somebody can help me.
Many thanks.
Deb
