https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0432 has Kilcoo parish baptismal records for free. I found Lawrence in there, however, no parents were listed. You may be able to find more information in there regarding his sisters.

My great grandfather Lawrence Murnin (born the 12th of June 1835 and died the 25th of February 1903) was from Moyad in Kilcoo Civil Parish in County Down. He had a sister Nancy Ann who married Arthur Bradley from Ballygorian More in County Down. They also had sisters Catherine, Mary and Bridget and brothers Arthur, Patrick and John. I know Lawrence and Nancy came to the USA but have no info on the others. They were related to the McLaughlin and McGinnity families, also from Kilcoo. Looking for more Murnin family members so please leave a comment if you'd like to get in touch.

his parents were Peter Murnin and Mary McLaughlin the real question is who were their parents and Lawrence's wife Elizabeth Quinn was from Castlewellan and her father was John Quinn (b. 1810 (farmer/agriculturalist in Troy (Lansingburgh, NY)) and no idea who her mother was (Possible Anne)and a possibly a stepmother Catherine, buried in Randolph, NY

I believe it is probable that Lawrence Murnin's sister Nancy Ann was my Great, Great Grandmother. Although we have no reports of her name being Nancy. Only Ann.
The information that I have is as follows:
Ann Murnin married Arthur Bradley in County Down Ireland and they came to the USA in 1852. They eventually settled in Cattaragus County, New York.
They had seven children, and it was their daughter Mary who married Joseph Biedermann from Warren, Pennsylvania. Joseph and Mary were my Great Granparents.
My wife and I are thinking about a trip to Ireland in 2021 and I am trying to learn any information I can about any Murnin or Bradley descendants currently living in Ireland.
Also would be very interested in any additional historical information about Arthur and Ann.

Yes, Ann is Nancy Ann I have a lot of info on her and her family Her brother Lawrence is my gr grandfather so we are one generation apart, well I have much of your people on my tree, if you send me an email to matthewcostello295@gmail.com I will send you a link to my tree or the username and password to my ancestry account (we're cousins, after all, lol) this page is far too user-unfriendly and I don't like posting personal info on it
this is a copy of a letter about Nancy Ann......
This letter was written by Dr. Hugh James Ryan, Sr. and sent to Rita DeRose. Rita copied the letter in long hand and sent me a very poor photo copy. The following is what I think is in the letter.
Dear Nancy,
This is a copy of a letter Daddy sent me. I pasted the original in Nancy's baby book. I had a lot of questions to ask Daddy after reading over the family tree that Daden (aka Hugh J. Ryan, Jr) has in Babylon.
"Yes, I knew my great aunt, Aunt Nancy. She lived with us when I was a little boy in Johnsonburg, when we lived on High Street. She used to sit up in her room with a black shawl over her shoulders, rocking back and forth, smoking her clay pipe, and we children, Ruth (my sister) and I would sit on the floor while she told us stories about the leprechauns in Ireland, where she was born. She was the one who told me the story about the two little men, about a foot high, with little dunce type hats. She said she chased after them and they dropped their little clay pipe, which she picked up. She said they probably dropped it to stop her from catching up with them because when she stooped over to pick up the pipe, when she looked up again, they had disappeared. Aunt Nance (as we called her) was a sister of my grandfather Lawrence Murning. She married a man named Bradley, so she was Nancy Bradley. She had a son named Jack, is married and still lives in Kane. I just looked his name up in the phone book. One other son Art, who was my age, was suffocated by gas fumes in a gas station in Kane years ago. Vivian Locke Whalen (my first cousin) remembers all about the tree. She was over the other day and filled me in on Aunt Nancy. Vivian says Aunt Nancy is buried in the Onoville Cemetery, and she says she remembers that her mother, my Mother and Aunt Lizzie attended her funeral.
My grandparents on my mother's side, Grandfather and Grandmother Lawrence Murning, died one day apart and were buried in a double funeral in St. Bernard's Cemetery in Bradford. I guess it must have been their graves that I took you and Daden to see. I think that a least a couple of their children are buried up there also. Only one of the 12 children (brothers and sisters of my mother) is still living. She is Aunt Tessie Griffey, now living in Detroit. Guess she must be 85 years old by now. I don't not have her address handy, but I am sure Vivian knows it if you want to ask her any further questions. ....... there is a very long account of her passage to America in the comments section on her ancestry page
