Staffordshire Lookup Requests / Re: Look up please for Michael Forkin

Thank, Trish!
My search for Michael, who died during the war, leaves me with the issue of Forkan and Forkin... But as I discovered, even the census uses the 'in' ending when the individuals, themselves, did not...It's a part of the family history that may never get solved...perhaps, it follows suit with the dropping of the "O", I don't know! 

Anyways, CHEERS from Canada,

Hi Bkelly!
My grandmother was a Forkan from Mayo, as well...right near Kiltimagh!  Her name was Maria, born 1881.  She married Michael Reilly, and lived in Tullinahoo, Mayo  My mom, Teresa Reilly Doan, their daughter, is still living quite well at the age of 96, here in Canada.  She and my other Detroit cousins have said, in the past, that many of the Forkans came to the State.  I've been to Mayo, and stayed in Tullinahoo,  Kiltimagh and Swinford.  There are still quite a few Forkans living there...one of whom even fixed our car at a garage that he owns in the town.  Perhaps there are records of Forkin's too.
