    It's got to be the most established double-barrel names in Ireland.
    Is it linked to one family,or landlord?
    Was it several incidences of Barries and Murphies coming together to make little Barry-Murphies?
    Are there cases of any new Barry-Murphy surnames being created within families?

    Are there cases of any Murphy-Barry surnames?

    I believe the name originates from the Townsend of Coolmakee near Cloughduv
