hi pam

yes it is ..thank you for that info .. im trying to find out who martin parents were and any thing else about him ,,like what part of ireland he was born ands when he came over and any siblings etc .. i too can only find him on the 1881 census ...

Do you have Martin and Emma's marriage certificate? It would give Martin's fathers name making the search easier.

Possible??

You need to get his MC to determine fathers name..You could also check the Whitechapel area 1871 see if any other Murphy's are around...

Poor relief record could also be of use.

Ellie

thank you every one for your information and help ...i will order the relevent marriage cert ..can ahyone find him on 1871 census? as i dont seem to be able too...

ellie

what is poor relief record?

Not found him on the 1871 census.
Was hoping to find him on the 1911 census as it gives more details on place of birth.
1911 found two Martin Murphy's in London.
One in Fulham Workhouse from Wexford(unable to view original at the moment) and one in Lambeth from Laois called Martin Frederick who is with his Sister in law Isabella McIntyre and her children.

hi pam

as i said i cant find him on the 1871 and the 1911 entries dont look hopeful like either of them being him..but thanks for looking

regards

as far as im aware he didnt have a middle name

Found him!
He's from Cork.
If you go to irishgenealogy.ie you maybe able to find more info on the family. It would make a big different if you know his date of birth or his Dad's name. Good Luck.

Possible death record

Civil Registration event: Death

Name: MURPHY, Martin
Registration District: Islington
County: London
Year of Registration: 1924
Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
Age at death: 79
Volume No: 1B
Page No: 229

ANOTHER QUESTION .. IN THE 1911 CENSUS THERE IS A BIG AGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE OTHER CENSUS HE SAYS HE WAS B 1844 BUT ALL THE OTHERS LIST B.1851 WHY IS THIS DO U THINK?

Possibilities.
Transcription error could be 1854 not 1844
Quite common for people to say they are younger or older than they actually are. Makes life interesting for those searching.
Someone else filled the census in an was not sure how old he was.

If the death index matches with the last census information.
