Hi Norman.

I have been looking but so far haven't found anything .... sorry.

I just have a question.  If Mary Kate and Ellen were your dad's sisters, wouldn't that make them your aunts instead of 1st cousins?

I have some information about Bridget Hunt's family. Her parents were Thomas Hunt (1831 - 1907) and Catherine Towey (1833 - 1894). They were from Urlaur, which is in Mayo but only a few kilometers from Briarfield. Thomas Hunt's parents were Brian (or Bernard) Hunt (1798 - 1892)and Elizabeth Kelly (1799 - 1872).

Apparently Mary Kate and Ellen Duffy came to the US about 1925. Bridget (or Bridie) stayed behind and then joined them in the 1950s after their father died.
