Hi.

I am looking for any information on my Irish families. The information I have is that John Durkin married Elizabeth Kelly, Feburary 1854 in the Dumcree Parish. (Catholic I think) They had two children born in Ireland. (1)  Mary Ann (b) Porterdown, County Armagh, 1854 and (2) John (b) 1856.  It appears they left these two children with unknown relativies when they travelled to Australia on the Glen Isla in 1857.  They returned to Ireland 1862, then back to Australia along with their two children on the Buction castle.

It appears other people travelled with them to Australia on the Bucton Castle who I think may have been Durkin's, but it shows them as WIRKIN ??

Any information on John, his parents or his sibblings would be much appreciated.  Along with information on Elizabeth Kelly as I have no information on her or her family.

Should any of my Australian information be of interest please advise as I am only to happy to share. 

Thank  you again for any assistance.
