Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
I searched for a Patrick Duke civil birth record from 1880-1910 on www.irishgenealogy.ie There were none in Co. Longford and the closest was this record near Strokestown Co. Roscommon in 1899.

Do you have his parents names?
I also chekced the 1911 census and the only Patrick Duke around the correct age was the same Patrick in the birth record above.

The only info I have is as follows. Patrick duke was Born around 1901 in templemichael I only know this from his headstone. However I do know he got married to Mary McNeill in1927, I'll post record below. His own father is Patrick listed as carpenter.

The marriage occurred in Co. Meath. When I looked at the 1911 census I found a Patrick Duke in Co. Meath with a number of children including a son Patrick age 16. I then found the 1895 baptismal record for this Patrick. I think Patrick Duke made himself younger when he got married. Can't explain Templemichael versus Co. Meath.

Good evening I located a Patrick Duke born 12 May 1900 in Longford parish, also known as Templemichael. His parents were Patrick Duke and Kate McNiff. The surname Duke appears to this day around Longford.
Kind regards
