Patricia, I believe the Duffy's and Griffins you are looking into are related to the
James "John" and Catherine Duffy, I am looking for. I'm just unsure they are
definitely related to me, yet. I have a Death Record with undoubtedly her Husband's
parents names and 4 broad searches in New York Archives have come up with no Marriage
certificate. My Grans Godmother was a Mary Byrnes and I found a Mary Griffin married a
Martin Byrnes in NYC, and the couple lived very close to my family.
This John and Catherine had all their children at Cloongoonagh, Aghamore . On the civil
wedding record of dates and witnesses same as the Church. James " John" and
Catherine Duffy married in the Kilmovee Chapel on 3-5-1867. witnesses were Mark Kenny
& Mary Duffy.
Their children births and sponsors are as such.
Mary : Dec 6, 1867 Patrick Cain & Catherine Killeen.
Thomas: Dec 27, 1868 Andrew & Mary Duffy
Catherine: July 17,1870 Mathew & Mary Griffin
Anne: March 7, 1873 Anthony Murphy and Anne Duffy
Ellen: April 13,1874 Martin Keane & Bridget Griffin
John: May 25, 1878 Thomas & Bridget Griffin
Bridget: Aug 15, 1882 Patrick & Mary Griffin.
I am not certian of a family connection to Patrick Caufield, my heart and my gut have
always that there was one and that the connection would lead me to Anna/Anne. Mayo was the
first place I thought she was from. Anna's husband, his parents and his Grandparents
are from Cavan. So, when Patrick Caulfield was found in Mayo, I have delved back into
trying finding a solid connection between Anna and Patrick.
Thanks so much for the reply! Please, keep me posted on your search. Maybe, we can find a
connection somewhere , it cannot all be coincidences..
