This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: McGowan, Carabine, Carrabine, Durcan, Durkin Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/hBU.2ACEB/332.1.1 Message Board Post: I have evidence of Durcan and McGowan at Carrowmore-moy (Balleyhowley) Trying to link my McGowan to these families. Patrick married Mary Carbine/Carrabine and had my gg grandfather who then went to Ireland late 1800's and is found in Home of Michael Quinn ca 1881 and about 1884 comes to US with his bride Mary Anne Doyle, settling in Fall River MASS. Mary Anne is sister of Margaret Doyle Quinn. All the Doyles seem to come to Fall River. Patrick is the only known McGowan in Fall River. No siblings ID'd and marriage of his parents not at Carrowmore-moy. However, it appears that they died there. Evidence shows that a William Durcan served as his Godfather with Catherine Carabine. thanks, Libby
