Looking to find out information about Hanoria Murphy's parents.  I know it should be listed on her marriage license to Timothy Foley married 13th October 1889 but not sure where it took place.  Hanoria was born about 1865 and Timothy Joseph Foley was born 12 April 1850 Castlebar Street, Westport, Mayo, Ireland.  Together they had many kids.  

  • Timothy Foley born in 1891

  • Thomas Foley born1892​

  • Ellen Foley born in 1895​
  • Edward Foley born 6 August 1897 – Jan 1983​

  • Hanoria Foley born in 1899​

  • Alice Foley  born 3 April 1901​
  • Bridget Foley born in 1904

Here is the 1901 census that lists the family but I can not find out anything about Hanoria.  http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai001109759/

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I do know Timothy's parents are Timothy Foley and Ann Chute but that is as much as I know besides his other wife named Catherine Neary who died in 1882.

  • Amy:

    The father of Honoria Murphy was Michael. Civil marriage records only show the father's name. I will look for some possible leads on her mother's name.

  • Amy:

    I did a search and could not find a good lead for a baptismal/birth record for Honoria. I searched on the subscription site Roots Ireland looked in Co. Mayo for all Murphy baptismal records with a father Michael.

    I focused on the records in the 1860s looking for Honoria or a variant name and there was only one record in 1861 for an Honor Murphy in Crossmolina RC parish with father Michael Murphy and mother Mary Muldowney. It is possible that your Honoria was from somewhere else in Mayo or even Co. Galway and migrated to Westport to pursue her dressmaking skills.

    Let me know if you have any questions.

  • Thank you so much.  I just can not find anything.  I will focus my search on Galway and see what I can find.  I thank you for at least reading the record.  The writing was hard for me to read.  Thanks again.
