Notes: 

Dr Jeremiah E. Murphy, Lissarda, is listed as medical officer and registrar for the dispensary and registration district of Cannaway in Guy's Postal Directory of 1914. The dispensary ruins are located at a crossroads in Shandangan West. Dr Jerome B. practiced medicine in Runcorn, Cheshire. According to his memoir, 'Rumour of Hope: The Challenge of Choosing', Jerome B.'s son Denstone E.A. Murphy was named after a public school in Staffordshire where his father had practiced medicine. Peggy, wife of Jerome B., left Cheshire for the Murphy family home in Lissarda with an eight-year old Denstone and his sister Rosemary in 1939 when the war started. Denstone was educated at Glenstal and studied medicine for three years at UCC. He later left university to join the Dominicans, and was ordained in 1958. He spent two years in Trinidad teaching biology before returning to Ireland to take up the position of student master at Tallaght. He later left the priesthood and married Maura Wall. He lectured at Trinity College Dublin, the Department of Education and Cabinteely until he was forced into early retirement by Parkinson's. At this point he wrote his memoir, also a theological commentary, brought to publication after his death by his wife Maura.
