HI all

I have acquired info from an Aunt sent to her from my great-aunt Audrey Vivienne Murphy (Viv), my grandmother's half sister.

Jeremiah (Charles) Murphy c1864-1947 married Mary Ann Frost d.1912.
Their children were:- Reuben; Thomas; Jack; William George; Florence, Benjamin and Herbert George (Bert). I have no dates but this almost ties up with the 1901 census posted by Chris Ho.
Jeremiah's father was Timothy Murphy which also ties up with the marriage posted by Tempest.
Jeremiah re-married Edith Annie Gordon (nee Baxter), possibly the E.A Murphy on my grandmother's marriage certificate.
Regards.

Thank you again Tempest I will certainly consider that Viv was a cousin and not a sister to Florence. It may explain how she came to meet my grandfather as Aldershot id not far from Alton; plus I have an old photo of some lady taken at a photographers in Aldershot.
Regards

Hi Chris Ho ;)

The 1911 census is definitely proving to be a problem. If Charles Jeremiah Murphy had filled it in then my grandmother would have been 9/10yrs old at the time.

Michael Report 4 Aug 2011 22:02

thank you Tempest

I have Charles as c1875 but that isn't to say that my date is correct.
However, my grandmother was born 11yrs later from the marriage of Charles to Mary Ann Frost, so unless she was a younger child of a larger family than I am led to believe, then I would have to assume that this is not a match.
