Ireland / Re: Michael Duggan History(1867) in Ireland???
« on: Sunday 03 July 11 14:51 BST (UK)  »
I guess what I meant is that the "Cath. Collins" arrived in 1896 and was single. The other "Catherine Collins" arrived in 1892, age is right, but don't recognize the rest of the family and she was married already from Ellis Island records. I'm kind of at a stand still now, until I get Michael's death certificate.......Thank you for your time  ;D

I have to admit that the Ellis Island records of Catherine Collins (Dublin) Jun. 24Th 1892 & Cath. Collins (Cork) Sept., 02 1866 is intriguing, although she should have been married at that point  ??? But at least with this search we have places  ;D

Thank you for all the information and work on this.  I believe aghadowey is on the right track.  Mary, Margaret and Josephine were all sisters of my grandfather, John.  The David Stryker connection is also correct.  We are attempting to contact David and Mary Stryker's grandson (left a message and waiting for a return call).  Hoping he can also shed some light on the subject.  Again thanks for your help.

The 1871 census is dead on, I can't deny that, all the records support that. The other ones (1881) are close but not exact and there is no Kate and the addition of the other children who never show up again. I believe that Jno Duggan (nephew) never made the trip, from the census....... she lost 1 child. I believe the occupation he had there as a Engine fitter was quite common as was our name....Duggan/Dugan. I think the original census from 1871 is probably the right one, but 1881 seems a little bit of a stretch.
Thank you again, this is fun  ;D

I actually think the last 2 searches were a bit of a stretch for us. First they would have had to drop 1 (G) and the ages are a little off, plus some of the names we have not heard off. We probably saw it because of Sheffield again and the ages were somewhat close......moving past that one.
 Still funny how for Michael on the census, it's wrote Ireland and then scratched out, yet documents going into 1920 for Michael he has birth as Ireland or Irish free state. And his Petition for U.S. Naturalization 1900, he wrote Formal Nationality as "Queen United Kingdom of Great Britain & Ireland". It looks as though from the 1900 census he has he was born in Ireland and immigrated from Queenstown (port) to the U.S. in 1893. And Catherine came in 1895 (when they married) in NY.
 Sheffield and most of the kids being born there could still be a possibility though. Still trying to find out Mary's last name and where they may have come from. From the 1920 U.S. census it looks as though Catherine had died before then.........Still working at it.  Mary Duggan married Dave Stryker in N.Y. after 1920. If I could nail down her time of death, we might be able to see where she born? Thanks for all your help......  ;D

It may be that Thomas was born in Tipperary in 1841 & Mary (?) in Roscommon in 1846  ???

Yes, that's them. I'm trying to find where Thomas & Mary Duggan are from in Ireland. I don't have her surname and as you can see there children were Kate (1869), Thomas (1870), Michael and Jno/nephew (haven't figured that one out yet).  ;D  We are heading to Ireland at the end of July. I have ordered Michael's death certificate in hopes it may have where his father was born in Ireland.  Thank you..... :)

I guess that since Michael was born in England (while his Father worked there for awhile) I will have to rely on Thomas & Mary, although I believe they all came back to Ireland from England where Michael met Catherine Collins and married.

So far on the census, ship records & naturalation, I get only Ireland & Irish Free State.

Looking for information on where my great grandfather Michael Duggan (1867) was born in Ireland? His Father Thomas (1841) & Mother (1846). He married Catherine Collins (born 1870) and they had 4 children Mary, Margaret, Josephine & John. Moved from Ireland around 1893 to New York after spending some time in Sheffield, England (1871). So far on the census, ship records & naturalation, I get only Ireland & Irish Free State.  :)
