Hello Uncle John,
Last time I saw you was back in the 1970's when my dad borrowed your car when we came up to see you.
My Dad and I were talking about getting in touch but I could not get your phone number as Dad wants to catch up with you.
I am in Saudi Arabia at the moment but when I come back to the UK it'll come up to see you if that's Ok.
we never found out what became of our Tommy! Here is my email address give me a message  ^(*)
Great to here from you.
Martyn

It's really great to see that you've found each other and I don't want to spoil anything but Rootschat discourages people from posting email addresses on the forum. The usual solution is to send a personal message but you need to have posted on the forum 3 times to do this and neither of you qualify for this at present.

So to solve this Martyn, I'll send a PM to John with your email address and you need to edit your post on the forum to remove the address. Hope this suits all.

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.

Barbara

Hello Barbara, my name is Sean and I am the grandson of John Durkin. I came across this quite randomly whilst googling my Grandad John, I'm not sure if you know but he was fairly famous in middlesbrough for many fantastic reasons. We still have Anthony Durkins war medals and a wealth of information about the family. Patrick Durkin my grandfather's brother was an actor that had many accomplishments. His wife (my grandmother) Miriam, is still alive and well.
 I could not believe my eyes when I noticed that he had replied to you on this forum! (He was not computer literate Haha) anyway, we still reside in middlesbrough and although the wounds of his loss are still fresh I am more than prepared to take this further if you still wish to, and maybe we can help you fill in any gaps! e
mail me if this has switched a light on, it certainly has for me!

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.
