Friends on the Beara list, I wanted to mention that for those of you who are wanting marriage certificates for relatives who were married in Montana, that the Mormon church now has those records online for free. If you go to the Family Search website (www.familysearch.org) and instead of entering a name in the top part of the page, instead go to the bottom of the page to the collections and select United States and then Montana. It will list all the Montana collections and there are two for the marriage records. Pick the one with images and then you can do a surname search. It solves the problem of which county did they get married in as it covers all counties. In Butte, until about 1894, many people went to Helena to get married. It was an exhausting task as I was surprised at how many records I had to collect for my batch of Harringtons and Murphys, but found them all. And am trying to break through the brick wall of my mystery Murphy man in Butte. The marriage records are particularly helpful as they list the parent's names and can help to piece the whole picture together. Happy hunting!

Dear Theresa, Daniel (known as Dan) Murphy & Catherine (known as Kate) Harrington were not living in Goulane. They were living in the nearby townland of Shountalive. Look again in "the older edition of Riobard's book", and you will find that the youngest of his sons was named Stephen. If he became a Priest in the Stetes later, that might help to solve your problem. ---- Riobard.

Dear Jean, Darby is only a form of the name Jeremiah ---- not a nickname. The name Darby comes from the Gaelic name Diarmuid. When I was teaching in Kilmacowen (after coming from teaching near Enniscorthy in Co. Wexford, and before I was teaching in Urhan in the Eyeries Parish), I taught a family known as "The Darbys" around 1960. They were a lovely family of McAuliffes, and were originated from Darby (or Jeremiah) McAuliffe who married in Goulane. Kilmacowen, around 1840 (before the Famine). Then, nearby you had Darby Murphy, Darby Hanley, Darby O'Sullivan. There is also a version of Darby called Darb. There is a family here in the Eyeries Parish known as "The Darbs". All these families were/are lovely families. And that's a fact. Like a man said me years ago: "O'Dwyer", says he "'twould be a pity if you'd ever die" !! ---- Riobard.

Yes, Darby is still being used today, not only for boys though. I have a lovely 4 yr. old granddaughter named Darby Lynn. I have also seen it used in an ad for western wear worn by a little girl Darby. Really cute name.

Riobard, Thanks so much for this. I'll look for them tonight. Now my question is about Margaret Murphy Holland who fits the birth order of the children of Jack (John) Murphy and Mary Harrington, but for whom we've never found a baptismal record. There are photos of Dan and Catherine's children in her photo album as well as a picture of Father Daniel. Which left me wondering if perhaps she was a cousin rather than a sister of my great grandmother. Whatever the relationship, she was a grand lady who was full of Irish charm. If there are any relatives of Dan and Catherine who would like copies of the photos, I'd be happy to share. The children are very red haired and freckled unlike our Murphy's who were very tiny (4 foot 10 inches) and quite dark haired. The photo of the children has the name Abell written on it which I assume is the name of the photographer.

Hi Riobard, Bill, and all, Our family has a relative born about 1823 whose father was Darby (listed on Baptism). I thought I read somewhere that Darby was a nickname for Jeremiah, which would fit for above. Have tried to find what I was reading to no avail, so decided to ask the experts on this particular question. Is/was Darby a nickname for Jeremiah back in the 1820's? Is Darby a real first name? When did Darby go out of fashion? Is Darby still being used today? Thank you for your time and trouble. Jean

Folks, I have been trying to patch together the family of Stephen "Darby" Murphy from Goulane who was brother of my triple great grandfather, Jeremiah Murphy from Kilmacowan. One of the pieces that helped me to clarify the baptismal records was the realization that he went by Darby not Stephen. I have a photo that is one of the mysteries still needing to be solved of four Murphy children, who from the baptismal records seems to be children of Daniel Murphy and Catherine Harrington of Goulane. They aren't clearly mapped in my older edition of Riobard's book. And without Riobard's information about Jeremiah and Stephen being brothers, I would be totally lost, so blessings and gratitude as usual to Riobard. There is also a photo of a Father Stephen Murphy that I haven't been able to place in the group yet.

Teresa, Thanks for the great story and for your kindness sharing information. You make a great argument for holistic genealogy where the sum of all the parts together may provide us with the way through our brick walls. It's worked for me so many times that I always share related information publically that isn't ours but may be someone else's. And it even worked as I dreaded taking a Michael Murphy who married our Mary Murphy in Butte back to Ireland. And his mother in law was of course a Maggie Sullivan Murphy. But with clues from Riobard and deep searching we have been able to connect with the right families on paper. Still haven't found an relatives of Michael Murphy in Glengariff yet, but haven't given up hope.

Hi Teresa, all, Teresa Barnes <[email protected]> writes: > Could you tell me the name of and a bit about Morgan Llewelyn's book? I see Reg has already replied but I'll expand a bit on his cell phone message. The book is The Last Prince of Ireland. It's a novel based on the true story of O'Sullivan's March from Beara up the west coast of Ireland in January of 1603. I've read it and quite enjoyed it. Bill Gawne
