Registration notes:	This tartan was designed in honour of Mr William R Murphy Sr (the designer's grandfather). The name of the tartan comes from the traditional informal name for the patriarch and his immediate family, which has been used by the family for several decades. Mr Murphy’s family currently spans four generations living in the United States and around the world. Additionally, the tartan honours the family's Irish ancestry and continued connection to the British Isles; in particular, to family members currently living in Scotland and Wales. As to the colours and design of the tartan: green represents the family’s Irish ancestry and is the base colour of the tartan; blue represents the open sky and heavenly grace; red is a sign of strength and perseverance; while black represents earth, planting and harvesting. There are two central blue stripes representing the family’s parents, which are joined by the overlaying red and black stripes of earth and strength. These two blue stripes are flanked by six more blue stripes representing the patriarch’s six children. Last, the bright yellow line encompassing the rest of the pattern represents happiness, and is the favourite colour of both the patriarch and his late wife and mother of his six children, Doris. The tartan was designed for the personal use of Mr William R Murphy Sr, Phoenix Arizona, and his immediate family. It was created using the online tartan design software at www.scotweb.co.uk.
