Here's what I know.  My great-great grandfather MAY have been named Luke (unreliable information from a now deceased aunt). The name of my great-grandfather was Philip Durkan.  He married a Catherine Durkan (and I think that actually may have been her maiden name, as well as her married name) in Kilmacteige, County Sligo, in February 1849.  Their children included my grandfather, Michael, and his siblings, Atty, Bridget, Winifred, and Luke.  Atty remained in Ireland.  Bridget and Luke came to Massachusetts but had no descendants.  Winifred had descendants, but I do not know them.  I don't think they live in Massachusetts. There are many family stories about Durkins marrying Durkins--which seems to have been easy to do in Sligo!  In fact, I have some notes about a James Durkin, who immigrated to Brwester, NY, a Martin Durkin, an Anthony Durkin, a Jack Durkin, and an Edward Durkin.  These must have been Michael's cousins.  I don't know anything about them--just their names.  I didn't have a chance to ask my aunt for clarification.

My granfather was born in Dowra, County Cavan,Ireland and his sister's name was Ann, and she married a Durkin. And on the baptismal records that I was recently reviewing with my cousin, Chris Creamer, we found a Bridget Durkin listed as one of the godparents for Chris'father, Robert Creamer. I also remember hearing the Durkin name when I was growning up. We do have more information on other Creamer siblings, their parents,and ship manifest records for my grandfather, Peter, his brother Hugh, and sister Mary. Another brother lived in San Franciso, and we just recently found some info. on him. I'm hoping there is a connection, because we have been working on several things without much progress. This would really be great to be able to connect my grandfather with his only sister. Let me know what you think. Judy Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

My 2nd great grandparents were John DURKIN from Westport, Co. Mayo and Mary WALDRON from Ballyhaunis, Mayo. I've never found a marriage record for them, but they lived in New York, NY. John DURKIN was in the Irish Brigade, "the Fighting 69th," during the Civil War. Mary WALDRON died in December 1857 after giving birth to twin girls. One of the twins died, and the one who lived was my great-grandmother, Anna DURKIN, who married Patrick MOONEY. I have a good deal of information about the WALDRONs in Ballyhaunis, but very little about the DURKINs in Westport. Please let me hear from you.
