Perhaps I can help you retain some your 'wits' about your ancestry regarding the Murphy Clan - Dublin.All of my Murphy clan came from Dublin, though a few moved about to other areas such as Cork(esp.), and Kilkenny.I suggest you try to find if your Murphy clan has a whole bunch of John Murphys going back to Dublin, 1497.And also, take note that the naming of offspring, for the most part, was based on naming the first son after his father.. that's why for instance there is John after John after John, etc.Sometimes some fathers would name their first-born son after their wife's father as has occured in my line.That helps you make the connection as I wondered where my g-g-gf got his name...from his father's father-in-law.I hope this has been of some help to you.
Regards,
Kit
