Duffy. My family left northern Ireland (unknown exactly where) and went to Hurlford, Scotland. Records there take them back to 1850's. Is there any place I can look to help me find where in Ireland they may have originated? They worked for some big landowner...Maybe records exist there? Names: John Duffy, wife Julia Graham, known son John. Other sons/daughters may have been Julia, Stephen, Andrew, Mary or Margaret. Thanks.

Perhaps you might give approx years for John, Julia, and children?
When did they go to Scotland?
Were children born in Ireland or Scotland?
What religion were they?
Thanks.

As Patricia has said we need more information. When were they all born? What do the Scottish censuses say about their places of birth? Did they have any children born in Scotland in 1855, or 1861 onwards? (Any 1855 certificate should tell you where the parents were born and when. 1861 onwards should tell you where the parents married. If in Ireland then obviously that should help a lot. When was John junior born? Where and when did the parents John & Julia die?
