Cobh:
My great-grandmother Catherine Murphy was born in 1865in Queenstown (Cobh). Her parents were Denis Murphy (a seaman) and Ellen Mulcahy and they lived at 11 The Mall, Queenstown.
Catherine immigrated to San Francisco, CA in 1894. Her sister Mary Ellen immigated to San Francisco, CA in 1890 and married Michael Downey (from Waterford),
Denis Murphy (b ~1840) and Ellen Mulcahy (b 1841) they were married in Cobh in 1862.
Denis and Ellen Murphy had 10 / 8 living children according to the 1901 census.
They were: James (b 1863), Catherine (b 1865), Mary Ellen (b 1867), Mathew (b 1870), Patrick (b 1873), Margaret (b 1875), Teresa Anne (1878), Denis (b1880), James Joseph (b1882-1919), & Charles Denis (b 1885)
Ellen Mulcahy's parents were David Mulcahy (1806-1870) and Cate Hurley (b. unknown).
Denis Murphy's parents were most likely: Denis Murphy and Margaret Leonard (births unknown).
Any help to find out more information about this family and/or any living decendants would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Ironpool -
Unfortunately I don't have any record of a Jeremiah Mulcahy in the Mulcahy family I have researched. My Mulcahy's are from Cobh (Queenstown), Co Cork and belong to one family starting with David Mulcahy born 1806 and his wife, Cate (Cathrine) Hurly and their family of 5 children, Bartholomew, Julia, Margaret, Patrick and Ellen - b1830 -1841.
What year do you have for Jermiah Mulcahy?
Jermiah is an unusal enough name - Have yout tried finding his parents on http://www.rootsireland.ie/ ? You can search by Co Cork and by the parish, if you happen to know it. It is an expensive search engine but if you can limit your search criteria a bit you might have some sucess since the name Jermiah is so unusal.
If you find any relation to the names l listed above please let me know.
Thanks,
Lenore
