CALLING ALL MURPHY'S - VICTORIA
Hi all fellow MURPHY researchers.
I have MURPHY's in my tree and all I have to go on are sponsors for baptisms that took place in the Castlemaine district of Victoria.
I will first start with the marriage of my gggrandparents.
Thomas MURDOCH/K married Ellen MURPHY (do Patrick and Mary) in 1853 at St Francis, Roman Catholic Church, Melbourne.
They had 8 children mainly all births taking place in the Castlemaine district with the two youngest being born in Goulburn district of NSW.The births in Victoria occured between 1854 and 1865.
The following were sponsors to the baptisms of the children:
Richard MURPHY, Mary MULLINS, Cornelius MURPHY, Eliza McGUINESS, John MURPHY, Mary CURTAIN, Jeremiah MURPHY, Margaret CUNNINGHAM, Patrick MURPHY, Mary MURPHY, Patrick CURTIN, Mary CURTIN.
All the MURPHY's mentioned above I assume were siblings of Ellen.
Do any of these people ring a bell with anyone.
Kind regards
Jane
