Hello,
I am grateful for the information. after all I didn't say where I had already looked! I found this discussion and follwed it through, but I got a tad confused but saw it was the family of Edward.
Edward that I seek is definately a child of Edward Duffy and Catherine Jordan as I have found his birth and baptism records. Also it was his wife who was listed with his father (widowed) in the 1901 census at the Loughglinn family residence. I saw the discussion about his brother John in Manchester. I have looked at passenger lists , Scotland and England. I could not find anything for him and not even a death.
His daughter B Jane married John Dwyer in 1914 in Breedogue. B Jand and husband John Dwyer(Of Callow) both buried in Cloonshanville Abbey Graveyard, French Park. So they did not follow him wherever he went to. I have sent a msg to the Efinn site, as I saw that Edward is not on their list of Duffy children. The Duffy trees on ancestry have not been fruitful.
I have also not been able to confirm a death record so far for Mary Duffy(nee Sharkey). It is possible that she went to wherever he was after B Jane's marriage. But I cannot find that either.
I was hoping other Duffy family may have come across Edward in their searches.
He may have gone to England or elsewhere for work , as many did, but I have failed to find him. So I posted here as I hoped others may have seen him after 1897 record of daughters birth. Maybe he is in plain sight but I just can't see it.
All help is gratefully received. I am sorry I may have sounded otherwise
Late at night in far away OZ.... Erin
