Cannot find Catharine after 1870, when still married to George. I do not know when or where either George or Catharine died. George and Catharine's children are: Hugh, George, Mary Alice, Rose, Thomas Francis and Francis 1) Hugh DUFFY, born 1857, NY (listed as a musician in 1880) Do not know if/who Hugh married, or when or where he died. 2)George DUFFY, born 1859, NY (listed as an artist in 1880).

Mary Alice DUFFY and John Joseph CARROLL also had 2 other sets of twins that died in infancy, Rose and Katie, and a boy and a girl. 4) Rose DUFFY, born 1866, NY, marriage possibilities: JOHNSON, had one son Charlie Johnson, or: Patrick WALSH, had 2 sons, Thomas Francis and John WALSH, both died young. There could have been other children born to them. Do not know for sure who Rose married. Family member believes it was JOHNSON, but I have found a family buried in Calvary with the 2 Walsh boys, whose parents are listed as Rose Duffy and Patrick Walsh, and also buried there is a Thomas F. Duffy, who may be my Rose Duffy's brother (the only inconsistency with this man being my great grandfather is that the man buried is listed as being born in Ireland, which my Thomas Duffy was not, and if this is his sister's plot, you would think she knew where he was born) 5) Thomas Francis DUFFY, born 6-1869, NY, died 1935 or 36, NY, married Elizabeth DUNN, born 3-1872, Cork, Ireland, died 10-1949, NY. (my great grandparents) Elizabeth is buried in Gate of Heaven Cemetery, NY. Not sure where Thomas is buried. (see above about Rose) They had 3 children: a)Mary Elizabeth DUFFY (aka.

There is a story that one of the DUFFY sons of George and Catharine MCNALLY DUFFY was a custodian for the Brooklyn Bridge, and I think it was either George or Francis. Thanks for any help!
