Maura,

I know nothing about Nora Healy McCarthy's parents. Her husband was Patrick McCarthy they married in 1856. I have an obituary for the grandson of Nora Healy McCarthy, a John F. Donoghue(son of Margaret McCarthy/Michael Donoghue). There were Healy's who gave flowers on that and one was the daughter of Denis and Mary Murphy, a Bridget McNeil. Also a Maria, Helen, John, Hannah and Patrick Healy as well followed the name of Mrs. Michael McNeil, they gave a heart of flowers. I have to assume they connect in some way given his grandmother was a Healy. I am also trying to figure out how Bridget Healy McNeil relates to the others as they all gave the flowers together.
I have not figured it all out. I do know Bridget McNeil was the daughter of a Denis and Mary Murphy, not sure if it's the same Denis and Mary you are seeking.
