- Ballymurphy or Baile Uí Murchada is the name of the townland in which I live. It probably derived its name from the name Murphy which was very prevalent there in the last century. However there is only one family bearing that name residing there now.
It is a fairly extensive townland, extending from Gurranes Cross in the north to Killeens in the South. There are twenty families living in the locality, five of these being Forde.
The oldest inhabitant is Mr Timothy Forde, aged eightytwo years he can speak Irish fluently. He can fully relate all about the parnelite regime, and remembers the sad years of the Land war. - Transcription guide »You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
