Sculptor
There are uncertainties about the dates of his birth and death. Information from the Royal Society of British Sculptors (now Royal British Society of Sculptors) gives the dates 1881-1971 but these cannot be confirmed. There was a person of this name, born in 1881, who died in Maidenhead in 1973. This fits the last known address for Murphy given in Royal Academy exhibitors and has therefore been used.
