Find Living Relatives

I am looking for details of my great grandfather John Murtagh who I believe was born in Howth (Dublin) around 1876. He married a lady called Jane Lawlor. They moved to Barrowinfurness and had 3 children, John Gerard, Margaret (married Jack Landon and moved to Denton) and Patrick. Patrick died in 1928 and is buried in Barrow Borough Cemetry along with his mother Jane (1952) and John Murtagh was laid to rest also in 1963 when he was flown from the Isle of Man to be laid to rest.
He worked as a Submarine Builders labourer.
If anyone has any information in relation to my family listed above or prior, I would be most grateful.

When and where did John Murtagh marry?

When and where was Jane born?

When and where was each of the children born?

Have you looked in 'search all trees'?

That's where you need to look to if you hope to find links on GR

What research have you done yourself? We don't want to be duplicating what you've done...................

I am unsure where he married, but am informed that it is likely to be In Howth in Dublin before moving to Barrowinfurness in Cumbria. I am trying totrack down his actual date of birth. I do know that he was Roman Catholic.

Barrow in Furness was in Lancashire until 1974

I have managed to trace his buriel and the dates but cannot get any further records for him as his death certificate in the IOM prior to his transportation to Barrow for buriel does not state his date of birth. Therefore the archives people say that they cannot furnish me with any more details.

Thank you

Ignore some of the info..................the transcription of some of it is ludicrous.

Corrections submitted

Your estimate of John's birth does not match the census info

The son John Gerard was not born until 1920 - he married in 1941 and 1945. info is on freebmd

DOB's are not on certs before 1969

You may have to settle for knowing the year of his birth
