1. Nothing further has been traced to date of John Murphy in the English census or in probate records. David Alston shows John Murphy as later living in Portland Place. Edward Murphy, the son of John and Anna Murphy of 18 Portland Place, was born 05/02/1847 and baptised in Dublin 07/03/1847, but John Murphy the partner in Gordon, Murphy until 1818 would have been relatively old to have been the father of Edward Murphy.
