    1. [IRL-DUBLIN] William Murphy and Bridget Donahue
    2. Dawn Butler
    3. 1- SURNAME:-   Murphy 2-William (possibly William B) 3- RELIGION:  Catholic 4- DO YOU KNOW WHERE THEY MARRIED : William Murphy married Bridget Donahue(Donohoe) at SS Michael and John's in Dublin on April 4, 1850.  Witnesses were James Kinsella and Mary Burke.  5- AGE WHEN MARRIED:- William born approximately 1819 and Bridget approximately 1826-possibly August, 1826 6- GROOM WAS BORN WHERE:-unknown 7-LIVED AFTER MARRIAGE:  Arrived in Cleveland Ohio sometime between the date of their marriage and September, 1850 as their first child, Thomas, was born in Cleveland in September, 1850. 8- NAME THE CHILDREN BORN TO THE  MARRIED COUPLE  IN IRELAND:  All children born in Cleveland Ohio 9- IF THEY LEFT IRELAND WHEN WHAT YEAR:-left between April and September , 1850 10- DID THEY DIE IN IRELAND:-no 11- WHAT DID THE PERSON YOU ARE LOOKING FOR WORK AT: In Cleveland, he was a brick layer.   Here is additional information that I have: a Patrick Toole (O'Toole-possibly born June, 1832) lived with the family -he was on the 1860 census-he was also executor of William's will- William died in 1871.  Possibly Patrick Toole was family??  After 1860 Patrick lived with a Mary Byrne (widow of John Byrne) and her daughter Mary A Byrne(possibly born Dec. 1849)  - these were Patrick's aunt and cousin.  I notice on the marriage certificate one of the witnesses is Mary Burke- so I am thinking this could possibly be the same person.  There was a William Murphy(I was looking for William's that were there in 1850 but not 1851) that lived in Dublin on 116 North King St. and a Patrick Toole that lived at 21 N. King in 1850- I don't believe this William is there in 1851.  I really have no idea if they were from Dublin - I am just assuming at this point that they lived there at one point since that is where they married. I have death records and cemetery records of William, Bridget, all of their children, Patrick and the Byrne's and it doesn't say in any of them where in Ireland they were from. Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated. Thanks
