my g/randparents were patrick murphy living ballybricken & margaret power married 1878 roman catholic chapel of trinity without in waterford ireland ,patricks father was also named patrick his occupation is given as a chandler
margaret,s father is named james occupation labourer
there are 2 witness,s 2 the marriage a john murphy & catherine power. .
margaret & patrick had a son named william born 28th april 1880 in lying in hospital waterford ireland with margaret is a lady named mary power believed 2 be margaret,s mother .
the address for margaret both on the birth & marriage cert is graces lane off morgan street waterford
william was christened in the church of the holy trinity ( without ) waterford on 9th may 1880 the sponsers or witness 2 this are an ellen power & william murphy .
william 1880 served in the royal welch regiment
william was married to someone in ireland (waterford) & was widowed when he moved 2 swansea in the late 1920,s .
i would really like 2 hear from anyone who recognises any of this info .i think patrick died around 1914 -16 at kerry lo place waterford the address sadly isnt there anymore but william was living with his then wife at the address i dont know if william & his wife had children but again would like any info if he did
a lot of what i am posting now is new info so am really hoping that someone will recognise something bally bricken waterford is believed 2 be the place the family were living after williams birth thankyou sue
