Down the road Bridget married a James Brown. If anything rings a bell let me known, thanks nik

Bridget had 2 brothers and 4 sisters, legend is her sisters came here, her brother John came here but returned to Ireland. Patrick Durkin remained in Ireland. I cannot find all the names of her sisters. By the meaning came here I mean Pittsburgh, PA, she told family, most of the people stayed on the train to Scranton, but she got off in Pittsburgh. Bridget married a James Brown I believe they both were on the 1st Steamship to Ellis Island, tracing James Brown it seems he left a port out of County Down. Any help appreciated. thanks NIk

Thanks for the reply. Catherine & Anthony Durkin were my grandmother's siblings - the only 2 who did not come to the US. There was no Michael in the family, so your grandfather would not be their brother. However, it is very possible that your Durkins are related to mine one generation back from that. And I know that there were other Durkins here in Chicago that were probably cousins of my grandmother. I did find some records of a Catherine and an Anthony Durkin in England during the right years, although the names were not unique. The records that I thought most likely to be for my Durkins were from Durham County! There seems to have been a group of the Durkin family who lived in that area - perhaps related. I'll be sending you an email with more information so see if we can connect. Cheers. Barbara

Durkin family: Sorry but I don't know anything about my grandfathers siblings. My grandfather immigrated from Galway to England, he settled in Sheffield. There maybe a connection, and I am not aware it. Good hunting.
