My ggm WINIFRED DURKIN married in Bonniconlon in 1847. I believe her parents to be MARTIN AND ANNE MULROONY of Ardnaree Townland and she had a brother JAMES. In 1847, her husband had a DOMINIC DURKIN working for him, so I assume he must have been a relative to have a job in the height of the famine. I met several nice DURKIN families living between Ballina and Bonniconlon (six miles away). Pls lets exchange info. cm reilly, ytkidr@adelphia.net
