My grandfather was Charles Durkin, born Aug. 21 1879 in Ballincurry. His parents were James Durkin born about 1846 and Catherine Durkin born about 1863. He also had a sister Mary born about 1878. James and Catherine were married in Feb. 1875 in Curry. James Durkin's father was Charles Durkin, who died before 1875. Catherine's father was John Durkin, but I don't have any other information about him. Let me know if any of this sounds familiar. The 1901 census shows about 14 Durcan/Durkin families in Ballincurry, so it is probably a longshot that we have a connections. -Mike Durkin Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
