Peig Uonhi (Harrington) — PJM's mother, of Point Ranna, Fay, Eyeries

Also known as: Peig Harrington, Peggy Harrington

family confidence: 95 — certain (corroborated)Murphy (paternal)

Per Oliver Murphy's 2026-05-11 email: wife of Seamus Mor Murphy. Of **Point Ranna, Fay, Eyeries**. Daughter of **Andrew Harrington (Uonhi)**. Mother of PJM, James (Jim), John, Mary, Catherine, Michael Murphy. HARRINGTON-MURPHY in-law tie. Recurs across the Beara Catholic-family naming-cluster (multiple Harrington entries on the 1866 + 1872 Kilcatherine RD register pages in the archive). USER'S GREAT-GREAT-GRANDMOTHER (= PJM's mother). **Shown as Patrick's mother: user decision 2026-10-03, confidence 95, with Seamus Mór.** The 1850 baptism of Patrick writes her "Margarita Uonhi"; the 1864 baptism of Michael writes "Margaret Harrington". The Annals (II p. 271) and the family tree name Patrick's mother as Mary O'Leary instead; the user judges that an error of Riobard O'Dwyer's, and Mary O'Leary is kept as a flagged record. Sources and reasons are set out on Patrick's record.
