My great grandmother was Marie Dennehy who used to live at the house that used to stand at the entrance of Mill Lane in Millstreet. It was said that Marie was a 1st cousin to Captain Con Murphy. Marie’s mother was Maryanne Murphy from Knocknagullane, Ballydaly. I was going through a family album that Marie Dennehy owned and I believe that I have a photograph of Captain Con Murphy.
Captain Cornelius Murphy: 1915-1921

Hi Damien,
It looks like an extract of the same photo was used in the Commemoration Book for the unveiling of the Monument in the Square in Millstreet on July 11th, 1948.
It is included in this article:
