Edward Murphy Family History
Edward’s Paternal Great Grandparents
We can identify Edward’s Barker great grandparents from his grandmother’s
baptism record. The grandparents were
Patrick Barker and
Anna Creighan of
Culdaloo,
Tehallan*.
Barker sometimes appears as “Barka” or “Barkey” in contemporary records
and Creighan sometimes appears as “Crehen” or “Crehens”.
Patrick Barker and Anna Creighan were married in the
neighbouring parish of Donagh on 28th June 1836. Here is a copy of the
marriage record:
No information has been found to date about Edward's great grandparents on his grandfather's side.
Edward’s Barker Granduncles and Grandaunts
Baptismal records survive for two sisters of Catherine Barker - Elizabeth, born 30th October 1841, and Ellen, born 12th August 1843, both baptised in Tyholland church. There is an Anne Barker identified as a sponsor for Edward’s uncles Patrick and Peter Murphy in 1858 and 1867. Michael Barker is listed as sponsor for Margaret Murphy in 1859. Further research is required to confirm relationships and find out more about these family members.
