My grandfather's full name is Michael Thomas Carlos Duffy. We always thought that there was a Spanish connection because of this and also because the family has dark hair and skin which easily tans (i.e., not white with freckles).
My GG Grandad was Michael Duffy from Drumshanbo in Co Roscommon (born 1831, died 1891) and my GG Granny was Annie Wynn from Drumkeeran in Co Leitrim (born 1844). They married 1863 in Roscommon. They had Mary (b1864), John (b1866), Hugh, my G Grandad (b 1868), Lizzie (b1876), Bridget (b1878) and Thomas (b1879). They came across to Scotland sometime between Bridget and Thomas' births.
My G Grandad Hugh then had my Grandad Michael Thomas Carlos Duffy.
As another matter of interest, it's thought that one of my G Grandad's sisters emigrated to the US - that would be Bridget Duffy, Lizzie Duffy or Mary Duffy. Have checked passenger lists and there are a couple of Bridget Duffy's sailing out of Glasgow on 'California' to NY in 1902 and 1911 (all of these women would have been born in Co Roscommon or Co Leitrim).
I know it's not much of a summary but am interested to see if it rings any bells with anyone out there.
