This lady was my aunt.I would love to find her decendents in the US.
Here is what I know about her:
Mary Murphy was born in Drogheda to Thomas Murphy and Margaret Ellen nee Rooney in 1887. The family lived around theTrinity Street/North Rd area in the 1880's.Mary was baptised in St. Peters RC church.
Mary had an older brother James Joseph and an older sister Alice. There were six siblings in all.
Mary's father Thomas died in 1891.
Alice and James Joseph emigrated to New York in 1899 where their grandmother was living.
Mary stayed with her mother Margaret who was a midwife in Ireland but moved to Shillelagh Co Wicklow and then to Newcastle Co Down. Her mother re-married and became Mrs. O'flaherty.
In 1907 Mary left Newcastle to join her sister Alice (Mrs Rudolph ) in New York.
There she met Thomas (or Timothy ) Walsh and married him around 1909/1910.I think he was a Limerick man but I am not sure.
The Walshes lived on West 94th Street in Manhattan where Thomas was a supervisor in an appartment building.
In 1911 Mary had a daughter Margaret/Marguerite Walsh.
In 1922 Mary sailed to Ireland bringing her daughter to visit her Grandmother Mrs O'Flaherty in Newcastle Co Down and returned to New York.
In 1930 the family still lived on West 94th Street.
I have some photos that I believe are of the family.
I would love to know what happened to them all.
