i have had a little help with this from a searcher in dublin library,i gave her all that i had found out including the dublin 1901 census andthe 1911 census
which are
residents of a house in 172 leeson park avenue rathmines and rathgar east dublin
surname, forename , age ,sex relation to head religion birthplace occupation literacy marital status
kelly mary 6 female grand child r,c dublin scholar cannot read single

murphy michael 14 male son r.c dublin scholar read single
murphy thomas 11 male son r.c dublin scholar read single
murphy patrick 19 male son r.c dublin van driver read single
then found another son,who had died in 1901 before census buried at glasnevin cemetry
murphy john 25 male son r.c dublin van driver read single
then in 1904 maria gregg died leaving the house to her son henry burroughs gregg,
so the murphy family had to move out and find another home,
which was 1.2 westmoreland park rathmines and rathgar east dublin i will have to go now but tomorrow i will give you a lot more

found another son john murphy born 1876 died 1901
thomas murphy married mary ann duffy, from gullinsten cottages rathmines,
could not find marriage of john murphy to anne or her maiden name

[bobdunford]

carrying from above ,what i gave to my searcher
census 1911
residents of a house 1.2 westmoreland park rathmines and rathgar east dublin
surname forename age sex relation to head religion birthplace occupation literacy marital status
murphy peter 39 male son r.c dublin grocer porter read and write single

murphy mary 14 female grand daughtere r.c dublin school read and write single
murphy peter 8 male grand son r.c dublin school reads and write single

then searching maria gregg maiden name ker found she had married a minister of the chuchof ireland ,mr william burroughs gregg in monaghan in 1871 and had a son henry gregg in oct 1871
william burroughs gregg died in 1898 leaving a probate for his wife maria elizabeth gregg of leeson park dublin
now maria e gregg died in1904 leaving a probate for her son henry gregg

also found out john murphy was a stable man for trinity college dublin

and that thomas murphy married mary ann duffy from gullinsten cottages rathmines dublin

i gavethis to my paid searcher on 24 september 2014
onthe 30 of september she brought me this
thomas murphy army records
that in 1900 all public houses were also grocer shops
with this in mind she found gullinsten cottages rathmines was next door to the town

[bobdunford]

the searcher came back with all this
first she had found in 1870
john murphy servant living at crofton terrace kingston dun leoghaire
anne walsh servant living at george street kingston dun leoghaire
john murphy married anne walsh in 1871 inkingston dun laoghaire
the gregs wanted servants
in 1891 living in 3 glenageary hill kingston dun laoghaire
in 1894 living in 6 arkendale road kingston dun laoghaire
in 1899 living in 29 leeson park avenue,one year after maria gregg husband had died,
birth record of patrick murphy gave john murphy occupation as coachman
birth record of john murphy gave fath occupation as groom this would tie in with 1901 census john murphy occupation as stable man
now in 1900 all public houses were also grocery shops .
so we find were mary ann duffy lived ingullinsten cottages wasnext door to the rathmines townhall,behind the town hall was a public house were patrick murphy and michael murphy worked behind the bar,thoams murphy was the grocer boy ,so mar ann duffy must havemet thomas murphy their ,
found thomas murphy army records
he joined up inthe british army in 1914 the liverpool regiment.discharged in 1919,started work in trinity colege ,
married mary ann duffy in 1921 ( mary ann duffy had two brothers john joseph duffy and george duffy
when they married thomas murphy living at 3 westmoreland park with histwo brothers patrick and michael murphy
after marraige lived at 25 lower armagh quay dublin ,in 1925 moved to 28 monsterboce road dublin,where he died in 1937 still working at trinity colege as groundsman,
in 1942 mary ann murphy moved to keogh square inchicore dublin
in 1964 moved to 78 rafters road drimnagh ,dublin where she died in 1982,from james hospital .to mount jerome cemetry dublin,
she said in john murphy born 1850 marriage it gives his father and mother ,also anne walsh father and mother which she now has to check,
and also the deaths of anne walsh and john murphy,and hopefully where they are buried
i ask my searcher if i could give out her name she said i could it is anne-maria smith www,intothepast.she is a genealogist and author.with APGI
