Durkin Family of Scranton Pennsylvania
Posted by: Corisa Ford Date: August 03, 2001 at 15:24:06
  of 199

I am looking for any information on the Durkin Family of Scranton, PA...

My Great Grandfather was William Durkin (1) (b. 1890-1900?).

He married Edith Allen (b. 1890-1900? Welsh decent).

They had 2 children (?):

Ruth Dolores Durkin (b. September 15 192?) who married Thomas Francis Ford, and;

William Dukin (2) (who I think had a son Robert? who died in 1987?).

My greatgrandfather William Durkin (1) died around 1958.

Ruth & Thomas Ford (b. Oct 12, 1922 d. Sept 12, 1996) had 4 children:
Ann Marie
Edith Eileen
John Paul (b. Feb 15, 1951--my dad) and;
Thomas Gerard

From stories I heard when I was younger (I wish I had paid closer attention) The Durkins came from either Sligo or Mayo Ireland.

I have very limited resources since my grandma (Ruth Durkin Ford) developed alzheimers several years ago. Any information what-so-ever would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Corisa
