True 

I had looked through the census, I thought, but missed that one.
So, now we have William Murphy Col. Sgt , Royal Irish Reserves b Tipperary

As Mary Ellen seems the only child to the couple, presumably Karytay is searching for William’s background.

William Murphy baptised 11th September 1862 - parents Edmond Murphy and Margaret Sweeney?

Yes of course and that hopefully confirms 1911 where Mary Ellen is with her McGrath family in Kilmolash.

Added
Great find re birth

Just goes to show there is a difference between McGrath and Mc Grath when searching!

Maybe her death is under Mc Grath onstead of McGrath.... don't have time to look now.
