Devaney, Durkin (Durcan) Families
I am trying to trace my ancestors from Mayo.
My grandmother Margaret Durkin (Durcan) was born in Dountas and married John Devaney from Stonehall Faxford.
I have 1901 Cnesus indicates the following:
Poor Law Union: Ballina
DED: Sraheen
Barony: Tirawley
Parish: Ballynahaglish
Townland: Stonehall
Div: Mayo
B24
NAME
Michael Devaney34 Farmer
Catherine Devaney34 Wife
Mary Ann Devaney13 Scholar
John Devaney10 Scholar
Michael Devaney8 Scholar
Kate Agnes Devaney6 Scholar
Pat Devaney4 Farmers son
Owen Devaney1 Farmers son
Mary Devaney60 Mother in Law
On the census return there were also a number of other Devaney families living in the same location - were any of them related to each other
My grandfather is the John Devaney indicated above. If anyone has any information related to my great grandfather and great grandmother I would appreciate it
