Mary had 2 brothers, Anthony & Thomas and 2 sisters. To date I have only discovered the name of one, Nora. Nora Durkin married a man with the surname of Dempsey and they emigrated to Scranton, PA. Mary's eldest, Bridget named one of her daughters', Catherine Winifred! Let me know if anything looks familiar.
