Carrol Family From Durham England

I'm afraid I don't have a direct connection, but I'm also looking for Carrol (or Carroll) family members who resided in Durham.
I recently discovered that my ggg grandmother was Ellen Carrol, who was born in IRE in 1821, and emigrated to Durham Co. She lived in Willington; I don't know if she married before immigrating or after. Her husband was Patrick (Mc)Clusky, and he was a coal miner there.
Their children were:
Eleanor
Patrick
Margaret
Frances
Matthew
In the 1871 census, Matthew Carrol, age 42, resided with them.
Margaret married Michael O'Grady and emigrated to the United States (Pittsburgh area) about 1868. Residing next door to them was a Barney Carrol, born about 1848 in IRE.
Don't know if any of this connects with your info, but I thought I'd pass it along just in case!
