March Birthdays & Anniversaries



Welcome to March's "roll call" of those who came before me ~ a listing of the birthdays and anniversaries of my Keough & Murphy ancestors who were born or married during March. I use a cutoff year of 1900 for privacy concerns. As you can see, Ireland, Newfoundland and the United States (Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska and New York) are represented.

Do we share any of the same ancestors? If so, I would love to hear from you and hear all about them.

  1. If those are you ancestors, Peter H. Davey and Catherine Murphy are my great-grandparents. Peter's daughter, Helen got married to Daniel E. McLaughlin who gave birth to my father John.

    Patrick McLaughlin (my parents considered naming me Peter).

  3. Amazing! Katherine Murphy was a daughter of James Murphy and Eleanor Kieley. One of their sons was Lawrence Murphy and he is my direct ancestor as he was my great great grandfather. So Katherine Murphy Davey was my great great aunt. Thanks so much for writing a comment on my blog. It is always nice to find more family to connect. I have had great luck with this blog as I have found some other family members who still reside in the Tecumseh/Vesta area of Nebraska. I would love to find out if you know any more family information and will happily share information I have gathered to-date. Thank you SO MUCH!

  4. Patrick - would love it if you would contact me offline - there is a box at the right hand side under the photo of Plate Cove Wharf - to contact me directly and we could share information. Happy Holidays - what a great Christmas present to find out about extended family!
