If your are not "researched out" could you try this one? I have no family left to ask and I am at a dead end. My grandfather's name was JOHN JOSEPH MURPHY . I was told from County Cork but that's all . In the Jersey City census of 1910 he was 26 years old so I'm guessing his year of birth at 1884. (In case this helps he had three sons John, William and Vincent. Maybe he named them after his father or brothers or something?) Thanks for anything you might be able to find. I know there are a million Murphys!

Hi Maureen; This is really a very long shot on your Murphy inquiry. But about 1830, a number of Irish families settled in a village called St. Columban that is right near Montreal. I have a web page (work in progress) that is dedicated to them at: http://www.stcolumban-irish.com/ . I if you check out, for example the 1851 census, on this page, you will find a number of Murphy families with names like John & Joseph etc. By about 1920, most Irish families had left the area and any number of them had moved to other parts of Canada or to the United States. I know your post mentioned that your Murphy had come from County Cork but many, many Irish families that eventually ended up in the States first arrived in Canada. Like I say, a long shot at best, but thought I would offer this information to you anyway.
