Murphys of Sluggara, Whitechurch

Hello Claire ref your post. You will have to rely on Baptism records as Civil Registration wasnt introduced in Ireland until 1864
I have had a look on www.rootsireland.ie a Pay to view site in the Roman Catholic parish of Blarney but cannot see a marriage for the parents or baptism for Patrick in the time frame you give.
There is a record for a Patrick Murphy in Griffiths Valuation viewable at www.nationalarchives.ie but while it is in Whitechurch the townland is Rathpeacon.
Cant see any record on the Tithe Applotment records for Patrick.
Should I discover any relevant records will let you know. Do you know Winifreds Surname? Regards Frances

Many thanks for your suggestions Frances.

I have checked for Baptism records for Patrick with no success. Thank you for looking.

I don't know Winifred's surname. I found that name in the death record for Patrick and Winifred's son Patrick who died in Boston, Massachusetts in 1889. I don't know who provided this information but it certainly wasn't the younger Patrick.

That's interesting that you found a Patrick Murphy in Whitechurch in Griffith's Valuation since I did not. I was looking on Origins for the records though.

I'll have to locate that and find out where Rathpeachon is relative to Ballinvarrig, where I found a Patrick Murphy listed in the Tithe Applotment books in 1826, and Sluggary which the younger Patrick lists as his birthplace in his naturalization application in 1854.
