There is the death of a male child in Mass. in 1891 father David B. Murphy and mother Mary Farrell.

So did the whole family emigrate or is there another family with similar names in USA?

Nothing known of Patrick Murphy other than the details on his marriage record in 1918 in Dundee.
Murphy being a fairly common name, may well throw up a few red herrings. So was his parents and siblings living in Massachusetts ?

Thank you Astra
