Crohur (Cornelius) "Yarb" Murphy (b. 1796 Clounaglaskin; d. 27 Oct 1870 Upper Cahirkeem) — PJM's grandfather
Also known as: Cornelius Murphy, Crohur Murphy, Crohur "Yarb" Murphy
family confidence: 75 — strongMurphy (paternal)
Per Oliver Murphy's 2026-05-11 email genealogy: son of Jeremiah "Yarb" Murphy (b. 1752); b. 1796 at Clonglaskan (= Clounaglaskin), Castletownbeare, West Cork; d. 27 Oct 1870 Upper Cahirkeem, Eyeries. Married Catherine "Kate" Power (b. 1784 Rodeen) — daughter of Edward (Rodeen) Power + Nellie Enright. USER'S GREAT-GREAT-GREAT-GRANDFATHER (= PJM's grandfather, JJM's great-grandfather). The CLOUNAGLASKIN-PUSH that anchors the family to the specific Beara townland documented in the 1992 Donald V. Murphy letter (existing memory: [[clounaglaskin-ancestral-root]]). POSSIBLY = the Cornelius Murphy on the existing-archive headstone (_unknown-cemetery-cork_cornelius-murphy-1879- family-stone) but the dates conflict (Oliver: d. 27 Oct 1870; headstone: d. 2 Feb 1879). Held as open question. Children per Oliver: Mary, Seamus Mor, Jeremiah, ?? Yarb Murphy (sister), Peig (Yarb), Margaret (Peig) Yarb, Nell (Yarb), Joan (Yarb) [m. Timothy Harrington].
Facts
Each fact shows how sure the archive is of it (0–100) and the sources it rests on.
- Birth:
- 1796, Clounaglaskin 502026-05-11 — Email correspondence — Oliver Murphy (Beara-side researcher) to Luke Murphy (user)Oliver only. No Beara register reaches 1796, so the year probably comes from an age at death; the birthplace is unsourced. Lowered from 75: see the email's other Ancestry-derived errors.
- Death:
- 1870-10-27, Eyeries (village + parish + RC Chapel) 502026-05-11 — Email correspondence — Oliver Murphy (Beara-side researcher) to Luke Murphy (user)Oliver: died at Upper Cahirkeem, Eyeries, 27 Oct 1870. An exact 1870 date suggests a civil death entry (registration began in 1864), but none is cited. 50.

Family (blood)
- child of Jeremiah "Yarb" Murphy (b. 1752) — PJM's GG-grandfather25Implied by Oliver's generation labels. Oliver Murphy's email of 11 May 2026 is the only source. It cites nothing for the generations above Seamus Mor, no Beara or Duhallow register reaches back this far, and other Ancestry-derived items in the same email proved wrong (the 1887 seaman Patrick, which Oliver withdrew; Michael's 1920 census age of 48 for a man born in 1864). · 2026-05-11 — Email correspondence — Oliver Murphy (Beara-side researcher) to Luke Murphy (user)
- child of Ellen Kelly of Lurgan, County Galway — PJM's GG-grandmother25
- parent of Seamus Mór (Big James) Murphy — PJM's father, of Ballycrovane Beara15Oliver alone names Crohur. The Annals of Beara name Seamus Mor's father twice as Patrick Murphy of Ballycrovane: section (A) lists Patrick's children Michael, Peig and James 'known as Seamus Mor', and the Bank entry says Paddy Mor, 'a brother of Seamus Mor Murphy who married Peig Uonhi', 'was son of Patrick Murphy, Ballycrovane'. The tree gives Seamus Mor no parents. Seamus Mor's first son was Paddy (Apr 1850), as Irish custom named a first son after the paternal grandfather, and none of his four sons was a Cornelius or a Jeremiah (inference). Luke's decisions do not cover Seamus Mor's father. · 2026-05-11 — Email correspondence — Oliver Murphy (Beara-side researcher) to Luke Murphy (user); undated — Riobárd Ó Dwyer, "Who Were My Ancestors?
