I found a birth record for a Michael Murphy born 30 June 1844 in Aghadoe. Father Michael, mother Julia. I am looking for a Michael Murphy born around that time who emmigrated to the States and ended up in Michigan working as a miner. He married a Bridgit, either Sheehey or Sheehan who was born around 1847 in what she said was Killarney, but she said Co. Cork, which I haven't been able to find. Not sure if they married in America or Ireland but they were living in Michigan by 1870.
Thank you.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out Cathy!
Have you had a look on Rootsireland.ie and Irishgenealogy.ie for a record for the marriage? Roots is a subscription site but you can now subscribe for as little as 24 hours while irishgenealogy is a free site. Cork and Kerry records are shared between the two.

Thank you Clare. I have used Irishgenealogy.ie and not found anything, but have not used Rootsireland. So, arel Killarney and Kilkkenny the same? Which County are they in?

Hi Cathy
Killarney and Kilkenny are in two different places. Killareny is in Co. Kerry and Kilkenny is a county in its own right.
If you Google a map of the counties of Ireland you will see where they are located; Kilkenny in the south-east and Killarney in the south
