Also there were her brothers Patrick b c 1821 and Matthew b 1838. I think they were probably from the Sligo/Mayo borders. I have noticed the family of an Anthony Durkin in Durham city amd have some information about them - I will have to look up my notes which may take a couple of days, so bear with me and I will report back when I can.
