Duane family of Kildorerry, Co. Cork

Dear Mark:

Thank you for your query.  We have 2 very good volunteers in Kildorerry and I'm forwarding this to them.  They will respond to you within the next week or so.

Thank you for your interest in Ireland Reaching Out.

Kind regards,

Jane

Jane,

Thank-you kindly for your assistance.  Some information I can share, that may help:  Nicholas Duane, b. circa 1805, m. Catharine Walsh circa 1825-26.  They had 5 children according to Kildorerry Parish records.  Julia Duane b. 25 May 1827;  Patrick Duane b. 14 Jul. 1829;  Johanna C. Duane b. 3 Nov. 1831;  Margaret Duane b.21 Jun.1834;  Thomas N. Duane (Sr.) b.10 Jul. 1836.

At some point, probably due to the famine, Catharine Duane gathered Johanna, Margaret, and Thomas and headed for Canada.  Catharine died of typhus aboard ship; the children were taken in by clergy and kind souls in Canada.  It was there that the spelling of the Duane name changed to Dewine. 

I would be truly grateful for ANY information on the above mentioned Duane-Walsh family.

Thanks so much,

Mark Dewine

P.S.- The other surnames on my paternal side include Farrell, Healy, Dunn, McCarthy, Chrystal, O'Hara, Ahern, and Leahy. LOL :)  And... my mother was a MacNaughton! Ha ha

Dear Mark:  Our local volunteer has seen the query and will reply in the next week or so as they have been away.

All the best,

Jane

Hi Mark
Greetings from Kildorrery. We are at present studying your query and we will get back to you as soon as we find anything positive. We only have the same information as you but we are following a lead. Anyway here's hoping we find something.

Hi Mark

I am trying to put a picture together of the Duane Family. You said you got details of the children from the Kildorrery records. Where did the original information come from. Did it come from the children who went to the States via Canada. There seems to be different Nicholas Duanes/Dwanes in the 1800s. I just want to make sure I am looking for the right one. I know a Duane family living locally who have the christian name Nicholas coming right down through the generations - quite possibly related to you but the problem is trying to fill in the dots.  Can you send me any more information you have so that I can share it with the local Duane man. You can contact me at: brendahennessy1@eircom.net.

Regards

Brenda
