  • Thank you so much for that information. Is there any info on his parents John and Mary (Murphy), or anything more on Justin.  I know he married my grandmother in 1919 in New Zeakand, however is stated he was a widower... ? did he marry in Ireland before going to New Zealand.

  • Hi Pam,

     

    Did he die in New Zealand or Australia?

  • Hi Brendan,

    I actually do not know where he died, I think it was in Australia however my search keeps coming up with nothing. Such limited information on my grandfather. I do know he married my grandmother Lottie Collie in New Zealand in February 1919 - he was previously married but no information other than he was a widower in 1917. 

    He had 3 children with my grandmother - Justin born 1920 - died age 20, Owen born 1921 (now deceased) and my dad Arthur born 1921 died 1985. All children were born in Auckland New Zealand and they moved to Australia - do not know when.

    I think he went from Ireland to Boston USA at about age 16 however this is unconfirmed. Do not know if this was alone or with his parents John and Mary (Murphy)

    This is all I have and just keep coming up empty...bit frustrating 

    Thank you so much for your assistance with this - very appreciated.
