Individual Details

Margaret MURPHY

(Abt 1 Mar 1862 - )

Sponsors at Margaret's baptism were Hugh Curran and Anne MacDonald.

Margaret entered the convent, becoming Sr. Cyril. The 1911 census of England has a 49-year-old Marguerite (sic) Murphy from Knocklonogad listed as an "assistant" and "help to Mother Superior to carry on school". The school in question was Catholic and located at 20 Fore St., Kingsbridge in Devon. The Mother Superior and the other six assistants at the school were all French and the boarders were a mix of French and British. Marguerite's age and place of birth leads me to believe that Marguerite is our Margaret above, with her first name given in its French form.

Note: I was unable to find Margaret/Marguerite in the 1901 censuses of Ireland or England.
