Looking for Ellen McGrath and William Desmond Murphy

[heywood]

Just learned he got married a third time, went back to Ireland and married Clanden Frances (Murphy)



It looks like Edmond Murphy died before 1900, His wife seams to be remarried at the time of Williams marriage to Ellen McGrath. Mother is now Margaret Cochran

Do you have any evidence for the above?
I have never heard of the name Clanden. Do you mean that she was Murphy or became Murphy after marriage.

I can’t see a Cochran marriage - I have looked for Cochrane/Corcoran too. How do you know this?

Ellen McGrath's parents Laurance McGrath and Margaret Roache

Probably a sister to Alice!

I thought Ellen’s family had been sorted and acknowledged but this latest goes against what we have found.
I don’t understand the new information re the Murphy family.
