James Duffy (abt. 1815-1874)

James Duffy (abt. 1815-1874) is Dermot's 2nd great grandfather. I have very little information about James, this is what we do know.

Dermot is descended through:

* his daughter, Rose Duffy (abt. 1863-1949) who married William Egan (abt. 1861-1905) in 1885
* their daughter, Helen Clare Egan (1899-1986) who married Patrick Boushell (1895-1969) in 1925
* their daughter, Mary Carmel Boushell (1926-1974) who married Gerald Westhoff in 1953
* Dermot Edward Patrick Westhoff

He married Rose (--?--), date unknown (probably 1844/45), the marriage record has not been found.

Family records indicate that James and Rose had 9 children:
  • Child 1: Margaret (1845-1941)
  • Child 2: Mary (1857-1880)
  • Child 3: Rose (1863-1949)
  • Child 4: Michael (1865-1957)
  • Child 5: Patrick (????-????)
  • Child 6: Daniel (????-????)
  • Child 7: James (????-????)
  • Child 8: John (????-????)
  • Child 9: Anne (????-????)
As can be seen from the question marks, there is still some work to be done on 5 of the 9 children.

The marriage records of the children give the following information:
1875 - Mary Duffy married Michael Gavin
This record gives Mary's address as Kilgarvin, Co Westmeath and her father as James, a farmer

1885 - Rose Duffy married William Egan
Rose's address is Kilgarvin, her father is James, a farmer

1897 - Margaret (Duffy) Gavin married Patrick Hynds
Her father's name is James, a farmer

1899 - Michael Duffy married Mary Anne Molloy
His address is given as Kilgarvin, his father is James, a farmer

James died on 3 April 1874 and was buried 2 days later in Clonmacnoise Cemetery, County Offaly, Ireland.
