My paternal great grandfather, Martin Patrick Murray, was born in Islandeady, 11 June, 1865. Parents were Patrick Murray and Catherine Higgins. they were married Oughaval RC parish 2 March 1851 (witnesses Edward Hestin and Bridget Geraughty). Martin had a brother, James, who did not immigrate with family, and I believe is buried in Clogher. I have an envelope with an address for James
