I believe he had a sister Kate (poss Catherine) but do not know the names of any other siblings but it is more than possible he had a brother Anthony as his father was called Anthony and he named his first son Anthony. My father (Thomas Durkin born South Shields, Co. Durham, England) did say that he had cousins in Chicago. Any conncections?
