Murphy-Blackwatertown Benburb
« on: Wednesday 18 July 12 22:50 BST (UK) »
Difficult to say whether these Murphys were from Tyrone or Armagh because of the closeness of the parish boundaries. Anyone who is a descendant of brothers:Thomas/John/James/William/Patrick/Joseph Murphy-please advise. There were two sisters in this family: Mary Jane [who may have married a Hughes and Susan who married Francis Hagan.
Thanks

This is really helpful. Wondering if Mary Jane Murphy and James Hughes had children? This would lead me a step further.

Did they stay in Ireland? if so, have you searched for them in 1901 and 1911 census?
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

The RootsIreland index shows the following children to a James Hughes and Mary Jane Murphy: Mary Ellen/Eleanor b.1885; Patrick Joseph b.1887; Elizabeth Catherine b.1888; William James b.1889; Mary Ellen b.1890, John James b.1891; Margaret Jane b.1892. All born in Armagh.

I wonder is this Mary Jane in 1901:
