Thomas's family info:

1. Philip, bachelor, 1798-1889, farmer in Edergole.
2. John b.1805 m. Mary Martin 1809-1882. Moved to Lanarkshire, Scotland. Have descendants.
3. Catherine, spinster, 1806-1876, lived with Thomas.
4. Mary 1821-1888 m. James Tully 1821-1889 in 1853 in Parish of Ematris. James's parents John and Mary (McIntyre/McMahon?). Moved to Lanarkshire early 1850s. Have descendants.
5. Thomas 1822-1914 m. Anne McPhilips b. 1851c in St Mary's Coravaccan. Thomas was a farmer in Edergole. Anne's father was Edward, also a farmer, from Kilnaharvey (?). Had at least one son, Patrick, b. 1886c.
6. A Patrick Dorrington is shown marrying a Mary Harrison in East Kilbride, Lanarkshire in 1850. I think he may also be a brother. No further info on him. Emigrated? John and Mary used Dorrington after moving to Lanarkshire.
The surname Durnan/Durnin is fairly rare in Co Monaghan. Does anyone recognise this family?
Many thanks.

Hi greaghlass
Thanks for the info on the Durnans :) I have been away for a couple of weeks so apologies for not replying sooner.
The info I have on this line came from a researcher I got to do some work from me. I haven't been able to move any further on this line other than what I have here.
Monica :)
