Notes

Note NI19Percy is quoted as saying that when the church was being built (1871) it was required that his father and all farmers that had horses and wagons were to haul a measure of stone ( a twye of stone - percy thought that this was a tonnage measure but what his father was meaning to say was that each Farmer was required to haul a quantity of stone equal to the church contribution for that year- a tithe of stone) from the Quarry for the construction of the church.

The 1901 census records his birth date as 8 mar 1853 Amy is sure that it is 1855. If 1853 is the correct date then Honoria Scollard is Michael's natural mother. If Mar 1855 is the correct birth date then Catherine Phelan is the natural mother but after the death of Honoria in 1854 the next marriage to Catherine did not take place until April of 1855( Notre Dame Basilica register, Michael was illegitimate for a month). Life was hard back then the phone did not arrive until 1911 and electricity arrived only in 1931. The 1901 census shows bob Murphy and Catherine Kenny living on the farm. They moved after Michael married Catherine hart
