I am again hoping to connect with posters SeanPMiller, John McArthur and Martyn Durkin (Martyn2445) as they are relations of Anthony Durkin who I believe is an older brother of my grandmother. Or any other posters who may be so related.

Apparently one must post at least 3 times in order to use the Private Message function and Sean does not have enough posts for me to contact him using a PM.

Are any of the other posters in contact with him?  Perhaps we could connect via email?  Email addresses cannot be posted online so Private Messages must be used for that.

I am hoping that one or all of these posters receive this response.

Thank you,
Barbara

Hi, Sean.

Apparently to use the Private Message function users must have posted at least 3 messages .  Perhaps you could post a couple more times to increase your number of posts and then I can send you a Private message.

Thank you to all of you who have replied to my original post about researching my grandmother’s brother Anthony Durkin.

I am sorry to hear of the recent death of John Durkin.  I see that he posted on this thread back in August of 2014, but I am sad to say that somehow I missed seeing his message.   I don’t know how this happened and I would have loved to have the chance to share information with him.

It seems that there was some relinking of messages to this thread which I have been informed of.
 
Thanks also to Martyn Durkin and John McArthur for posting and for letting me know about John Durkin’s death.
 
Since we all appear to be connected through this branch, if you would like to share information, please contact me via Private Message.  I would enjoy hearing from you.

Please express my condolences to John’s family.

Thank you to Roobarb for bumping my query and for all your kind replies.

A couple questions ...

1.  What are "MIs" as mentioned by Nannawilk?  Are they Memorial Inscriptions? ..Gravestone inscriptions?  Is there a source to find these inscriptions (other than visiting the cemetery?)

2.  What is a public grave?  Are there likely to be specific gravestones for someone buried in a public grave?

I did not have any luck finding any obituaries through the link to the britishnewspaperarchives.

Thank you to Nannawilk for the listings from Thorntree RC Cemetery.  My research indicates that the Michael on that list was a son to my Anthony Durkin and Edna was Michael's wife. I am not familiar with the other Durkins lon the list, although it is possible that there is a family connection.

Thank you for the information about the Fireplace Shop owned by Durkin family members.

I have managed to find some records for my Durkins who were buried in St. Joseph's Catholic Cemetery, although I have only burial records and no gravestone inscriptions.

Thank you again.

Barbara

I am excited to have finally located my grandmother's older brother Anthony Durkin after a long search.  Anthony was born in Ireland but settled in Middlesbrough. He died in February of 1931.

I am hoping someone can help me find the burial location of Anthony and his wife Margaret.  (I think Margaret died in 1944.)  They married in 1901 and had a large family, some of whom died young. 

The family was Catholic so I suspect they may be buried in St. Joseph's Cemetery or another Catholic cemetery in the area.

Any information about the burial location of members of the Durkin family, particularly Anthony and Margaret, would be most welcome.

I have another question as well...Does anyone know of a source of obituaries from Middlesbrough?  I would like to be able to know more about the family than just the names and dates. 

Since I live in the US, I would be grateful for any information from those more familiar with the area.

Thank you for any help.

Are you still looking for information on Thomas Jackman?

There are several records for a Thomas Jackman (and wife Cynthia) that seems to match the parameters you mention, except that he is listed as a "Corn Merchant" in the 1880 US Census, San Francisco. 

He and his wife are also listed for the 1871 Washington State Census for Clallam County as well as appearing in the US Census for 1900 and 1910 for Port Townsend, Jefferson County, Washington.  There is also a death record for Thomas Jackman from Washington State Death Records , dated 28 October 1910.

I took a look at the ship manifest that you mentioned.  It seems possible that Thomas Jackman lists his occupation as "Merchant", rather than "Merchanic.

I hope this is of some help.

Barbara
