Person:Luke Murray (1)

There is an Anna Murry, daughter of Lakus (?) and Mary Murray, baptised December 15, 1839 in the parish records for Muckno, County Monaghan. Godparents were Charles and Susanna. In the same records there was a Lucas Murray married to Anna Rice in August 7 or 10 (?), 1842 (2). Witnesses were Charles Murray and Maria McMahon. Also, there was an Eleanor (?) Murry born to Jacobus (James) and Mary Murry, baptised on July 19, 1847. Godparent seems to be Lucas.

Griffith's valuation shows a Luke Murray in Drumagelvin townland. There are O'Hare's in Tullintlisny towland and one in Aghnadamph but none in Drumagelvin. No Rice's in Muckno.
