Hello Aileen As far as the 1901 census is concerned have a look at RG13/2884 Fol 12 Page 16 where there is a William DURAS / DURN who seems to fit. Hopefully you may be able to confirm or refute this because he is living with his sister and brother-in-law. Someone else has obviously looked at this family because the transcribed name has had an alternative spelling added by a John Perry just a few days ago.
