As noted in original post have searched all available on line records without success hence the reason for the original post.
Constance O'Neill was working at the Harcourt Street Nursing Home in 1948 but there are no records available from the operators of the home at that time. Have approached the various nursing bodies via email and they have not found records for that time either.

Many thanks 'dathai'
I have all the details on Fr Charles including his obit. His grave is just beside the outside front wall of the Church with a Celtic Cross marking it. His father Patrick Ross Murphy who died in 1910 was living with his son while Rev Charles was curate at Lusk, Co Dublin.

Hi 'Haywood' thanks for response. Yes am aware of no children for Josephine in 1911 census. She was living with her sister at the time, so Constance would have been born post 1911 but nothing shows for up to 1918.

Josephine's death notice givers her as wife of Joseph, daughter of JJ Walsh but no mention of a daughter.
