It certainly isn’t easy tracing Irish Ancestry,the only line I’m struggling with had to be mine aha.I will keep going .The only baptisms census I can find for Catherine is ,Tipperary,Kildare or Cork ,it’s gona be a mission to find out which one is hers and how they come to Mayo swineford.Thanks for you’re help good luck with you’re trees.

Ahh unless I have the wrong birth census  :-\ .So should I change his name from Bernard to bryan,it might be what’s picking up different details,

Hi I believe they briefly lived in Wales before moving to Stockton .It seems that way on the census .I can’t see any witness on his birth census.

It shows as Bernard/Bryan on his census which was confusing but I took it as his middle name .I’m not 100 percent sure it is his baptism as there’s no mention of parents it’s very difficult to read and the dates of birth vary so much on Ancestry,it seems everyone who is searching for the same family tree have a wide variety of different birth dates, ancestry seems to throw it all at you that other people find but then messes up the accuracy on you’re own search.

Hi,I started with my line then worked backwards ,everything seemed to tally until I got to John and Catherine ,it has definitely hit a brick wall.Bernard was born 29 March 1844 Swineford Mayo married Ann Joyce ..

Hi thank you all so much for the information.Golden kept linking to John on Ancestry and then I found the marriage census for Kilbride Anchory.Other people searching for same tree line have Golden,but one person with the same search had Clarke ,I messaged but got no reply.Also my GG grandfather Bernard is their son and it comes up as parents John Durkin and Catherine Kitty Golden. I just can’t get find anything further to find Johns parents or Catherine’s ,I tried Patt and Mary for John as those names appear on the marriage census but it brings up nothing ,it’s frustrating as other tree lines have took me back a lot further but this is my direct ancestry,really would like to go further back.

Hi,thank you so much for that information,I believe that John is from Ireland as all his children were born there and my line up until late 1800s are births in Ireland ,Ellen doesn’t appear to be one of their children .I haven’t been able to find a birth census on either John or Catherine ,I have just pieced together from address census .The information on Golden seems positive though.

Hi, I’m currently searching my family tree on Ancestry but have hit a brick wall,i can’t move past a John Durkin born around 1801 in Anchory swineford Mayo Ireland ,it appears he had land and maybe been a small tenant farmer ,he died in Stockton  in 1865..He married a Catherine /Kitty Golden born 1811 died 1882 in Stockton . Her maiden name throws in doubt as someone with same name and birth date  is on a census as Clarke .Their children were Bernard,John,Bridget ,Thomas and Anne ..If anyone is searching the same and could help me out I would really appreciate it,I am a direct descendant of Durkin’s.
