Catharine Hill age 20 married Joseph Murphy age 22, May 10 1856 at St Marys, St denys and St George Manchester
Joseph was a cigar maker, Catharine had no occupation
Grooms father was James Murphy.. a spinner
Brides father was Edward Hill.. a smith
Witnesses were, Charles Vaughan and Phoebe Ann Anderton.
Catharine was born Manchester, I have no idea about Joseph
Can anyone see them after this marriage please
This is from fmp 1861, but the wife appears to have the wrong first name. Could Catherine have died?:
JOSEPH MURPHY BOARDER MARRIED Male 26 1835 CIGAR MAKER MANCHESTER, LANCASHIRE
ELIZABETH MURPHY WIFE MARRIED Female 23 1838 - MANCHESTER, LANCASHIRE
ISABELLA MURPHY DAUGHTER UNMARRIED Female 4 1857 SCHOLAR MANCHESTER, LANCASHIRE
EDWARD ALBERT MURPHY SON - Male 0 1861 - MANCHESTER, LANCASHIRE
I cant view the image at the moment. Do you need it found on Ancestry?

There's a baptism in Manchester for Isabella Murphy the dau of Joseph and Catherine, but not until 1860 and as it's a transcription there's no address etc to see if it relates to Isabella aged 4 in 1861.

Theres a couple of possible deaths 1857 and 1858 and a possible marriage to a Elizabeth Drinkle in 1859, will have to investigate further.

Isabella Murphy, baptised 27 May 1860, daughter of Joseph and Catherine, Chapel Street, Salford, father's occ, cigar maker.
This is the right Joseph, as he is a cigar maker, but Catherine died in 1858 and he was a widower when he married Elizabeth in 1859.
