Surnames: Spiers / Murphy Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/AiIBAEB/133 Message Board Post: I am trying to research the family of Mary Ann (Humphries?)Spiers (Speers) and Patrick Murphy, who were living in Bendigo in the second half of the 1800s. Patrick was a miner. I would also love to learn something about Patrick and Mary if at all possible. All I know is Patrick was from County Cork and Mary was from Bristol, England. Fingers crossed!
