Hi everyone! I am trying to determine if an Elizabeth Murphy who married William Hector 1869 Sydney is the same Elizabeth Murphy whose parents were Peter Murphy (sometimes Peter Duff Murphy) and Catherine Thompson. Elizabeth was born 1846 in Brisbane, but was most likely with her family when her parents travelled to the goldfields in NSW. Elizabeth's sister, Margaret Murphy married Edward Parker in 1861 Yass NSW. Her brother, Richard A Murphy died in Forbes 1863 at age 20yrs from a gunshot wound. From the NSW indexes: Children of William Hector and Elizabeth Murphy: 1639/1871 HECTOR CATHERINE M Parents WILLIAM ELIZABETH M at SYDNEY 1887/1873 HECTOR WILLIAM E Parents WILLIAM ELIZABETH at SYDNEY - died 7188/1933 HECTOR WILLIAM E Parents WILLIAM ELIZABETH M at RANDWICK 2729/1876 HECTOR JAMES L L Parents WILLIAM ELIZABETH M at SYDNEY 3021/1878 HECTOR PETER D Parents WILLIAM ELIZABETH M at SYDNEY died 983/1879 HECTOR PETER D Parents WILLIAM ELIZABETH at SYDNEY 2059/1880 HECTOR FLORENCE MABEL Parents WILLIAM ELIZABETH MARY at SYDNEY 2631/1882 HECTOR MADELINE C Parents WILLIAM ELIZABETH M at SYDNEY ? HECTOR LEO L J - died 4697/1918 HECTOR LEO L J Parents WILLIAM ELIZABETH M at BALMAIN SOUTH Elizabeth M Hector died 1885 ------ 1406/1885 HECTOR ELIZABETH M Parents PETER D and UNKNOWN at SYDNEY William Hector died 1919 ------ 24622/1919 HECTOR WILLIAM Parents: JAMES and MARY at LIVERPOOL Hope someone is connected to this family or can prove that this Elizabeth Murphy is the one described above (or not). I will copy to Sydney mailing list too. Thanks very much, Judy mailto:[email protected] For information about my Genealogy Interests: http://sajones.bigblog.com.au/
