Message Board Post:
I am trying to research my ancestor who emigrated to Australia. She was born Elizabeth
"Bess" Murphy in 1855 in Ballingate, Carnew, Arklow, County Wicklow, Ireland.
Bess married a man last name Carr and emigrated to Australia around 1882. She and her
husband had five daughters.
Her parents were Charles Murphy (born 1817 Co. Carlow Ireland, died 1904 in Ballingate)
and Elizabeth Fitzpatrick (born 1825 Ballingate and died 1900 Ballingate).
Charles and Elizabeth had 7 daughters and 2 sons. Bess is the only one to emigrate to
Australia, 2 sisters (Bridget Murphy Doyle and Sara Murphy Blest) emigrated to Delaware
USA, 1 sister (Eleanor Murphy Keough) emigrated to England; the remaining 3 sisters (Ann
Murphy Doran - Co. Monahan, Kate Murphy Tobin - Co. Wicklow and Mary Murphy Doyle - Co.
Wexford) and 2 brothers (Richard and Mogue) remained in Ireland.
I am the great grandson of Mogue and now live in Sydney, NSW. I would be interested if
anyone knows of Bess Murphy Carr.
Regards,
Kevin
