Individual Details
Thomas Stephen MURPHY
(1 Jan 1918 - 2 Nov 1994)
Thomas's baptismal sponsors were Patrick O'Connor and Helen O'Brien.
Both on his marriage record and on his gravestone Thomas's name is written as “Thomas D. Murphy” although his baptism entry in the church register tells us his middle name was Stephen. This is probably because people at that time in rural Ireland tended to be called by their first name followed by the first name of their father, in order to be distinguished from other locals of the same name.
