Great to hear from you! It’s been a very long time since anyone posted on this thread.

My great grandmother was Bridget nee Durkan O’Malley. She was Honor’s sister.

I would love to hear any stories about the family history. I will gladly share any info I have about the Durkans/Durkins if you do not have it and are interested.

 I do not have any info on the Durkan family before Martin. But, I do now know where all Honor’s siblings went.

If you would like my email private message me .

Kind Regards

Anne

The 1900 census is so full of errors intentional or otherwise as to be almost useless. Lizzie wasn't younger than John.  She wasn't born in the US. Maybe unlike her brother Thomas she didn't apply for citizenship and that was the reason.

Forgot you asked for this

Not sure what death record you are referring to, but Elizabeth’s headstone says b 1860.  https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/172447977

Thank you for your replies.

Thomas H Dolan the eldest brother and a wood carver died 21 Jul 1934. He never married and still lived together in Brooklyn with some of his sisters and his brother John Bernard’s family. He, sisters Margaret and Anne and John are buried in the same grave in St John's cemetery.

I actually thought it curious that Their mother Mary was not living with them in 1880 3 months after the death of her husband when their grandmother was. I don’t know what became of the 2 older sisters Mary and Kate after the 1870 census, married, domestics, died ? I can't locate them.

The NYC 5th election district is them in 1870. The mortality schedule 1880 is the correct Bernard as is confirmed by the death record address matching the address of Thomas and his siblings on the 1880 Census. Bernard was a shoemaker. But the death record does not show spouses name only that he was married. Widow and single are struck through leaving married as his status. He was listed as married on both the death record and the 1880 mortality schedule. So That would seem to support the idea that his wife was still alive March 1880.

I was hoping if I could find a death notice/obit it might have more info. I am trying not only to find Mary, but to trace the family back.

 I know Bernard’s Father’s s name was Thomas. I do not know his mother’s name.

Does anyone know if there is a place where the people buried in Calvary cemetery are indexed? I know there are millions of people in that cemetery .
