My great grandfather was Hugh Marren married to Mary Carroll and his son Bartley Marren married to Mary Feehily/Feely. The Durcans there married w/The Marrens and Kennedys. Note how they spelled Durcan while in Sligo. Another branch of this family married into the McCoy family who moved to Chicago. A Patrick Durcan who married my grandmothers sister Catherine changed his spelling to Durkin when he came to the USA. George
