I have Durkin ancestors who came from Cloonacool and/or Dawros, County Sligo, to Salem, Massachusetts. The immigrant was my grandfather, Michael Durkin, son of Philip "Durcan" (sometimes spelled "Durkan") and Catherine Durcan, who were married in Kilmacteige Parish in February 1849. They were the parents of Pat, Luke, Bridget, Winifred, and Atty, as well as of Michael. I have baptismal information on all EXCEPT my grandfather, Michael. I'm not positive about the date on which Michael Durkin immigrated, but it may have been 1888. Michael married my grandmother, Bridget Marren in Salem, MA in 1898. Briget was the daughter of John Marren (spelled "Marin" in marriage certificate) and Bridget Mullarkey. As a child, I remember visiting some relatives in Chicago, but I'm not sure they were Durkins. They may have been connected with another family line. I hope this is helpful in some way. Rosemary Lyon IThis is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

His brothers according to his obituary were John of Syracuse or possibly, Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, NY, and Michael, Thomas and James of Ireland. If you have the date of Bridget's and Matthew's deaths, please send them to me. I'll look the next time I am the library.

My great grandfather John Durkin, a farmer, was born c. 1840 and died in 1918 in Shammer, Kilkelly, Co. Mayo. (I believe his father may have been John too.) He married Ellen Prendergast and they lived on the family farm in Shammer. They had 6 children between the years 1881-1894: Joseph, Ellen, John, Jane, Michael & Eliza. Ellen, my grandmother, was christened in 1885 and somewhere between 1901 and 1919 she travelled to the USA to live in Fall River, MA. There are quite a few Durkins in that area, so maybe she travelled out to stay with them. She returned to Shammer, possibly on her father's death, and married James Campbell in 1920. Would be pleased to hear from you or anyone else if there is any connection with this family. Gerrie

Sligo? Mary would probably have been born within a few years of 1800. Her daughter, Mary Findley,was my great-grandmother, and came to the USA in the 1870's, as a woman in her mid fifties. The entire family immigrated, sending money back so that the the next could come, parents last.. They wound up living in Pawtucket, and surrounding areas, in Cranston, and especially the mill villages along the Blackstone River. This family, too, lived in England for a number of years after leaving Ireland. I know that these Irish families tended to settle where there were family or friends already living, and I wonder if there could be a connection to your Pawtucket family. Sorry I don't have anything concrete about my family while they lived in Ireland. The family tales all indicate very rough times!

Philip (1826-1889) born Sligo, immigrated Pawtucket RI around 1865. John (1851-1912) born Sligo, died Pawtucket. First immigrated to Burnsley Lancaster England with his brother Thomas. Married sisters, John married Winifred Herbert. Ran a grocery there. She died in childbirth in 1882. Thomas stayed in England. John remarried Bridget Gaffney and traveled with six children to Pawtucket. John Durkin had a son John Thomas Durkin (1876-1952) (my grandfather) who had a son John J. Durkin (my father). My grandfather had brothers Michael, Philip, and Roger (for whom I am named). We lost track of Thomas Durkin of Lancaster England. My interest is early Durkin Irish history. Where in Sligo, what did they do for a living, and was poverty and hunger as bad as family oral history??

I'm originally from the Syracuse, NY area. Unfortunately I think these are two different families. My great grandfather was Walter (1844-1907) and his brothers were John, Michael, Thomas and James. Their father was James. Only Walter and John immigrated to the US. I don't have any Rogers in the family or any connection to RI.

I had Martin James and Michael from Sligo. to canada in 1830,1840's a grandson went to New York and died during the flu in 1918. Hoping you might run into his name. Ambrose durkin kathy
