DUGGANS OF CO. CORK
Hi
My maternal Uncle is 88 years old and the last of his siblings. For over twenty years we have been trying to find the birth records of his Grandfather Patrick Duggan, without success. The earliest we can trace him is 1901 in Coatbridge, Scotland as patrick Dugon, Tube Work Labourer age 23, birth place England. He marries in 1905 Coatbridge, Scotland at the age of 28 dies in 1913 in Coatbridge, Scotland at the age of 35. Therefore we presume his birth date to be in the region of 1877. My Uncle seems to have a few matches that lead to Duggans in Cork, but how do I bridge the gap. I have exhausted all the Patrick Duggans in England, they don't have the right parents or don't have the right dates. Both his Marriage and Death cert state his parents are John Duggan and Annie McAvoy. Other than a Death Cert for his Father John Duggan in 1891 Coatbridge, Scotland as the widower of Annie McAvoy, but no parents are listed. I cannot find a marriage cert for them or a death cert for Annie. Everything is speculation and so frustrating. However, we are getting DNA matches to a Michael Duggan, 1773-1855 Kanturk, Cork through two of his sons Timothy 1807 and Daniel 1817, now they have a brother Patrick 1821 which would be the right age to be a grandfather of my Patrick but I don't see him having a son John c 1841 and this Patrick went to Canada and got married but whether he Fathered John 1841 before he went is pure speculation on my part. If there is anyone who can help in the Kanturk area, I would be eternally grateful. Many thanks Margaret
