Hello Nell!
I know this is older thread but will give it a shot!
My mother Bridget Duddy was born in Coolisduff, Co. Mayo, Ireland. Her parents were Peter DUDDY (1870-1937) and Julia LOFTUS (1835-1936).
Peter Duddy's parents were James DUDDY (1835-1894) and Mary HENEGHAN (1840-1911) they were married at Partry, Co. Mayo, Ireland in 1865
Julia Loftus's parents were Michael LOFTUS(1837-1894) of Ballymartin, Kilmaine and Honor GRIMES/GRYMES of unknown location or marriage.
I came across this thread because of a autosomal match (2nd-4th Cousin) with a MEEHAN. DNA test was through FTDNA. There was no information in his FTDNA account, but I did notice your Surnames here.
Possible cousins??

Hello Robert
Isn't it amazing what pops up on Rootschat after all this time?! Yes, I think we probably are cousins. Pleased to meet you!
I am aware of the Duddy/Loftus names but have never had the evidence to link them to my tree beyond doubt. Certainly lots to explore here. I'll find some time over the weekend to re-visit this and perhaps we can make contact? You do need to post three messages on Rootschat before we can contact each other using the private email facility.
Best wishes
Nell
