I would like to make contact with anyone researching or descended from Thomas Murphy and wife Honora O'Malley, married in the early 1880s, had the following children:
John b 1884
Thomas b 1886
Ellen b 1889
Patrick b 1891 (may have come to the US and settled in CA)
Bridget b 1893 came to US about 1911 settled in CA
James b 1894
Honora b 1895
Julia b 1896
Elizabeth b 1898
Margaret b 1899
Thomas was married first to Ellen O'Shea, in 1871, and had at least 4 children.
What is the name of the graveyard for the townland of Reennanallagane? Is there an online burial listing somewhere?
Kind regards,
Mary

Mary:
You may want to check www.irishgenealogy.ie for Church records for the parish of Glenbeigh/Glencar. St James Church in Glenbeigh is kikely the church you are looking for.

The 1901 census record for the Murphy family is below.

Thank you, Roger. I've used irishgenealogy.ie to find baptismal records for the children, but no luck with any burial records. I've seen the family on the 1901 census. By 1911, the only family members remaining are Patrick, living as head of household with his sisters Julia and Margaret. We need to find out what happened to the rest of the family, and I was hoping someone would know about an online burial listing, like kerryburials.ie, but for this location, since I don't see anything on that burial site. Your hint about St. James Church is very helpful - I will pursue that further.
Regards,
Mary
