    Allan Michael, and his brother Ernest (KIA Somme, France - Sept 26th,1916) were second cousins of my late mother. They were grandchildren of Edward Murphy and his wife Margaret (nee Mannion) from Rockhill, Headford, Co Galway, Ireland who emigrated to New Zealand in 1880. Edward's sister Bridget was my great-grandmother.

    If you are a descendant of Edward and Margaret, or other relative, please contact me.
