Ellen Henry of Sligo b.1832

[bluemoon10]

looking for information about Ellen Henry b. 1832 in Sligo, her Father was Patrick Henry.
She first appeared on the English census in 1861 living in Walsall married to John Durkin 25/10/1852 and had 3 daughters Mary b 1856 Ellen b.1858 and Catherine b. 1860 and a son John b. 1865.

She later married John Cain from Roscommon after John Durkin died and moved to Bradford around 1869 and lived their until she died.

If any one has any idea or know of Henry's from Sligo that would be a great start.

Regards. Mick

Hi Bluemoon,

Before I go typing out a family history on the Durkins in Bradford... I have just realised I think that I have talked to you before. Something that might help is that Thomas Henry (maybe a relation of Ellen) was the witness on my gt gt grandmothers' wedding certificate (Mary Durkin) in 1867, Bradford.

Hi Trilobite
                 thanks for the information. Yes i think we have been in touch before on GR some time ago.
I have another Durkin certificate with a Winifred Henry as a witness, so there is obviously a Henry family in Bradford that is related in some way. I have found quite a few in the Bowling district but as yet don't have the exact link.

I have a few Durkin marriage and birth certs that you might be interested in, and i think i have your email address from our Gr contact, so I'll send them on to you.

Its good to catch up again.

Mick
