Records for this area are included in parish of Kilconduff. I'm tracing John Durkin from Culmore, b:1887 d: 1956, who's father Michael died in US possibly Philadelphia or general area before John was born. John's mother Bridget Durkin or Durkan was also from Culmore. John siblings were Bridget,Maggi, Michael & Pat and possibly more. Any connection to your Durkin's I wonder.
