Hello! I am a descendant of Julia Murphy, born 1830 in County Cork, emigrated to U.S. during late 1840's/before 1853, settled in Trenton, New Jersey, married a Martin Murphy from County Kilkenny (1833-1866). Julia had two children, John A. Murphy (1854-1874) and Julia Ellen Murphy Allibone (1856-1942), both of whom stayed in the Trenton area.
Julia Murphy's parents are listed as Johanna and Martin Murphy on Julia's marriage license in Trenton, New Jersey; however, because this license contains many errors, it is very likely that these parent names are erroneous.
Since there is more than one Julia Murphy from Cork during this timeframe, I would like to connect with any Murphy descendants who may have knowledge of a family member named Julia who emigrated to the U.S. to share further information.
Thank you for your interest and any assistance!
Julie Larkin

I just recieved a DNA match with a party of the surname Murphy on Ged match but have not been able to find the tree with the individual to link to ,,,,, the DNA of the Murphys in gedmatch are from Silgo quite a distance from cork .We know that our surname is traced to kilworth in cork to 1803 and probably to a 1765 census in Kilworth. The connellys moved up to caher tipperary about 1815 then to the US about 1838 to 1870

Hi Julie I just wanted to let you know if you weren't already aware that there are many FB Genealogy Pages. There is Cork Genealogical Society / IGP County Cork, Cork Ireland City and County Matchmaker tool, DNA Facebook Group & West Cork Genealogy. If you haven't registered your dna with Gedmatch I would suggest that you do you will get many more matches there since everyone registers their dna their. You will be issued a Gedmatch number & this is the number you will share on the Genealogy pages!! Good luck on your research! I match Murphy in dna - my Gedmatch number is Z230977.
