I have obtained the marriage certificate from Ireland which showed that they were married on Monday 29th April 1907 at The Roman Catholic Church SS Peter & Paul (Ireland).
They had three children John Gerard Murtagh Born 29 June 1920, who married twice and had four children. Patrick Murtagh (yet to find DOB in Ireland) who died in Kendal 25th Sep 1928 aged 20 yrs. Margaret Murtagh DOB 24/1910 who married Jack Landon 28th February 1934 at St Jospephs RC Church Longsight. (see Jack Landon & Margaret Landon (Nee Murtagh) thread started 25th February 2014.
Thank you to all who have responded - much appreciated.

you will have you send for the cert for verification

Your estimate of John's birth does not match the census info

The son John Gerard was not born until 1920 - he married in 1941 and 1945. info is on freebmd

DOB's are not on certs before 1969

You may have to settle for knowing the year of his birth

I have managed to trace his buriel and the dates but cannot get any further records for him as his death certificate in the IOM prior to his transportation to Barrow for buriel does not state his date of birth. Therefore the archives people say that they cannot furnish me with any more details.

I am unsure where he married, but am informed that it is likely to be In Howth in Dublin before moving to Barrowinfurness in Cumbria. I am trying totrack down his actual date of birth. I do know that he was Roman Catholic.
