Notes:
Died:
Births, Deaths, Marriages in Newfoundland Newspapers (1810-1890) - DEATH 8 August 1888 - Margaret Murphy - aged 35 Deceased was the wife of the late James Murphy, Witless Bay, and daughter of Capt. Andrew Keough.
The newspaper transcription is a little confused, probably should read "wife of Capt. Andrew Keough and daughter of the late Jame Murphy, Witless Bay". I did not find an 1853 record for Margaret in the Witless Bay records, so I could not verify this deduction. If her father was James, there was a daughter, Margaret Anne (of James Murphy and Frances Blackler) baptised on 6 October 1857. The same age (35) is given on both her headstone and in the newspaper.
Margaret married Andrew Keough 6 Jan 1876, St. Patrick's Parish, Witless Bay, Newfoundland. Andrew (son of Edward Keough and Margaret "Peggy" Smith) was born Abt 1837, Stone Island, Caplin Bay, Newfoundland; died 6 Dec 1913, Caplin Bay, Newfoundland; was buried Abt 8 Dec 1913, Holy Trinity RC Cemetery, Ferryland, Ferryland District, Newfoundland, Canada.
