My great grandfather Michael Murphy was born March 3, 1881. His baptism place was Killenaule and Molyglass parish. HIs parents were Jeremiah Murphy and Bridget Wright.
I believe that Jeremiah Wright was born 1856 and Bridget Wright was born 1860 but not sure of that.
Michael Murphy emmigrated to hte United States in 1899. He married Annie Donohue from Dublin, Ireland
Looking for more information on this family in Tipperary such as where they lived, their parents and further geneology
Thank you.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
See first record on this link https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1880/11036/8036229.pdf which shows the marriage of Jermeiah Murphy and Bridget Wright. The record lists the names of the fathers of the bride and groom. Jeremiah was a postman.
Here is the 1901 census for Jeremaih, Bridget and six children. http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Tipperary/Killenaule/Bailey_St_/1705475/
Have not located them in the 1911 census but will keep looking.
