Winifred,s maiden name was DURKIN and I found their marriage certificate in Ireland showing they married April 1847 in Bonniconlin, County Mayo although Michael was from Kiltimagh, Co Mayo, about 40 miles south. Next door to them lived a James DURKIN family. James shows as 50 years old whil Winifred shows at 53 (I believe her to be older). James wife Julia is 55 and their son James is 50. I am Winifred and James were brother and sister but I find no proof. I believe they lived in the Ballina area of the townland Ardnaree. If any of this ties in with your information, please contact me. CM Reilly
