Surnames: Clancy, Murphy, Houlihan, Guiry
I have been searching for the family of my ggg-grandmother Elizabeth Murphy (ca 1830-1901). She married Patrick Clancy of Downeyville. I have come to believe or speculate that Ellen Murphy Houlihan may be Elizabeth's sister. As noted above, Elizabeth is a sponsor for one of Ellen's children. The census evidence for Ellen indicates that she was born in Ireland. Elizabeth's obituary mentions that she emigrated around the age of 16. Elizabeth's gravestone indicates that she is from Limerick, Ireland. Another related family is the Guirys, also of Downeyville. Several family letters and obits mention the connection between the Clancys, the Houlihans, and the Guirys. I think the connections maybe Murphy women but still trying to prove this.
If anyone has found anymore information on these Murphy women, I would be very interested.
