Searching for my Sewell and Murphy Families

Hello,

Please help. My mother godrest her soul tried for most of her 83 years to find them but could not. She started me doing family history at 9 and now that she is gone I want to furfill her wishes and find them once and for al. I am looking for my family which we know  or think was from the Cork area: 

John Sewell born abt 1791 in Ireland ( There is a John Sewell in theTownland of Ballynahalisk, St. Nathlash Parish , Cork.) Not sure it is him. Any help would be appreciated.

Wife? Ann?

Children:

Ann born abt 1832 in Ireland

Jane born we think August 13, 1834 but that is hearsay no record. She is my gg Grandmother! She married a Patrick James Murphy also ? from Cork family lore says.But married here in Maine, USA.

John Jr. born abt 1842

Elizabeth born 1844-1845

They went to St, John, New Brunswick first, then Portland, and Saco, Maine. Moved again by 1861 back to Osskeag/Norton New Brunswick, Canada, finally settling in Saco, Maine by 1872 where I am from.

How can I get access to brith records of this parish to see if this John Sewell is my John Sewell?

Thank you,

 

Kathy
