I am trying to find a birth record for my gg grandfather, Timothy Murtaugh. He was born in Bohola on March 13, 1835. He came to America in May of 1850. His parents are Thomas Murtaugh and Bridget Early. The rest of Timothy's family came over sometime in the mid 1840's because Timothy's youngest brother was born on ship approximately 1845. I still can't find out what ship they all came on. Timothy came over with a brother and friend later than the rest of the family (1850).  On the gravemarker of Thomas and Bridget, it says they came from the parish of Killedan in County Mayo. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am coming to Ireland in the middle of September for 3 1/2 weeks. Sooooo excited. Trying to find families to stay with if anyone knows of anyone who would open their home to me for a day or two.
