Looking for Ellen McGrath and William Desmond Murphy

[heywood]

I can’t see a birth or 1901 entry for the child Mary Ellen.
Do you know what happened to the young Mary Ellen?

Added - neither can I see a death for Ellen 

[Karytay]

Have no idea. Looked as well, saw nothing. I am now thinking Mary Ellen might not be a Murphy. I cannot seam to find a birth for Ellen either.

She married 1900 and child born 1899  ??

She married 1900 and child born 1899  ??

Presumably that is why Karytay thinks she might not be a Murphy.
I haven’t found a McGrath birth either.

I am looking for Ellen McGrath born abt. 1872 in Clonmel to parents Lawrence McGrath and Ellen Shea.Ellen died in 1902 Kilmolash Clonmel.
Her Husband was William Desmond Murphy b. 5 Oct 1860 Clonmel, his father was Edmund/Edmond Fitzgerald Murphy.

It does look as though Ellen’s information is correct in parts - the father’s name and Townland looks right.
William did not use the name Desmond on his marriage.
What evidence is there for his birthplace as Clonmel?

Mary Ellen Murphy’s marriage to James Murphy. Her father, William, a soldier.

She is described as a ‘farmer’s daughter’ also - presumably being raised by her mother’s family.

I haven’t found a McGrath birth either.

Plus he was a Soldier and he/she/they could have been anywhere in 1899...
