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.

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.
