Hi Tara

Well, I do know that my great great great grandmother, Eliza Duffy was born in Monaghan, Ireland to James Duffy and Catherine mcmurray.

Catherine mcmurray was felix's daughter.

So this May place Felix and his wife in monaghan.

Does this help?

Thanks

Well,

I think a person can be from ANYWHERE and yet have a child somewhere else ~ so sorry no, I don't agree.

I'm not for one minute saying that Felix was defo a Leitrim man ~ I'm just saying that :

1. Felix COULD be a Monaghan man and given the time period, possibly died without any sort of paper trail and so we shall never know exactly where he was resided.

OR

2. It MIGHT be worth researching the one Felix that does appear to have some sort of paperwork trail.

HEY, nothing ventured nothing gained is my motto !

But again, if you are more comfortable with the fact that Felix's daughter had a child in Monaghan and that makes it more likely that this child's grandfather was also from Monaghan then stick with what you are comfortable with.

Good Luck  ;D

Tara
