Looking for Baptism Record for Richard Murphy

[sarries]

I wonder if anyone can help me find the Baptism record of Richard Murphy born on Sept 1900 in 5 Wool Street Caedraw .On his birth certificate he was named Richard but in later life he used the name Richard Gregory Murphy.His mother was called Catherine maiden name Hemlock and his fathers name was also Richard I wondered if he had been Baptised with the extra middle name. I dont know which the nearest Catholic Church would have been to his address or even if he got Baptised before his family had moved to a different address  .Any help would be appreciated or even if you could point me in the right direction to track down the record  Thankyou

Hello Sarries I had a look at records in Merthyr Tydfil library there are baptism records for TWO RICHARD MURPHY with parents RICHARD MURPHY and CATHERINE HEMLOCK at SAINT MARYS CATHOLIC CHURCH MERTHYR TYDFIL.
1st born 3rd DECEMBER 1896 baptised 27th DECEMBER 1896 godfather JOHN HOWE godmother SARA HURLEY .
2nd RICHARD MURPHY parents RICHARD MURPHY and CATHERINE HEMLOCK born 7th SEPTEMBER 1900 baptised also 7th SEPTEMBER 1900 godmother MARY ANN PRICE .
neither have any middle name . There are 4 other children with same parents baptised at the church they were LOUISA MURPHY JAN 1894. WILLIAM MURPHY NOV 1891. JOHN MURPHY MARCH 1905 AGE 13 MONTHS . MARY LILIAN MURPHY NOV 1906.
It looks like the RCHARD who was born in 1896 died under 1 year old and they had another son later and called him RICHARD also. If you contact MERTHYR TYDFIL CENTRAL LIBRARY they can send you copies of the records you want them.Hope this helps you.
