Will send Obituary for the husband of Jane and Harry's daughter by pm - she is still living.
If you go to www.fulton.com - the marriage details will show "Long Island City NY Star Journal" - 1948. It says the bride was attired in a gown of white satin and lace, made by her great aunt Mrs E Simms.

Hi, there is a Harkin headstone at the old Inver  graveyard:

"In Memory of

John Harkin

Who died 15 Jun 1888 aged 63 years

Also his Son Thomas

Who died 20 Feb 1883 aged 15 years

Also Mary Harkin

The Dearly Beloved Wife of Hugh Harkin

Who died 21 Nov 1922 aged 67 years

Erected by Hugh Harkin"

My own family are the Kirks and McJunkins/McJenkins/Jenkins headstones. There is a Corscadden headstone - ex-UK PM Tony Blair's mother was a Corscadden from Donegal so these will be part of his family. I believe that his children travelled using Irish rather than UK passports, probably for security reasons.
