Saint George (perhaps ca. 275/281 -- 23 April 303) has a history that is confusing, if we accept that he existed he was a Christian Roman Tribune who was executed/martyred by the Emperor Diocletian for refusing to worship pagan gods. His canonisation/sainthood has been by early church tradition rather than a formal ceremony.
St. George was not canonized. He was proclaimed a saint by early Christians because of his martyrdom. The canonization process did not come into existence until the 12th century. In the primitive Church, martyrs were immediately recognized as witnessing to the perfection of Christian life on earth, having shown the ultimate proof of their love for Christ by the offering of their lives. By the sacrifice of their lives for Christ, they attained Heaven in eternal glory and were indissolubly united to the Lord, the Head of the Mystical Body.
Saint David of Wales was never canonized. He was declared a saint by popular acclaim with the concurrence of a bishop. Today only the pope can declare saints.

Yes, he's roman catholic saint, that was an usual rector of a rural parish. He was canonised in 1925 by Pious XI. He's an example that you don't need to be someone unusual to be saint. In last years John Paul II and Benedict XVI canonised many persons that were simple people: mothers, fathers, priests. There are many such people that are saints, in meaning of being salved, but are not canonised. Even you can be among them.

Saint Dymphna, Patron Saint of those who suffer from mental illness, lived and died around the 7th century, long before the formal act of canonisation was instituted and therefore was never canonised by the Pope. Until Canonisation was reserved to the Pope it was customary for local areas to honour members of the community for their sanctity and these people are called Saint with equal regard as those who have been formally canonised.
There isn't a real Saint Murphy. 'Saints' are persons canonised by the church and, according to church theology, now live in heaven and can help people on earth. Sometimes people call a living person a saint, but this just means a virtuous person, and is not the same as a heavenly, canonised, 'Saint'. Someone has described a 'Saint Murphy', in Saints of the Fifth-Dentists.See Related links below, which take you to an article where you can read about 'Saint David'. You can then decide for yourself whether 'Saint Murphy' is/was a real 'Saint' or not!
