Patrick Murphy married Elizabeth Cosser sometime in the 1890’s and
lived on Mullock St. in St. John’s. I have the baptismal record of one
of their children thanks to Larry Dohey of the Basilica Archives. It is
Edward Vincent Murphy who was born on July 4, 1901 and drowned
off the South side Battery in 1911 (recorded by my grandfather in a
little notebook). I also have the newspaper article after ordering in the
Daily News micorfilm covering the period of April 1911. My next step
is to find the marriage record for Patick Murphy and Elizabeth Cosser
to find out the parents of Patrick Murphy to see where he ties into my
Murphy lines. Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks..
