Thank you so much Patricia. I am a bit confused. The baptism that I found for Margaret Morkan says that her father was William. However when she died Mar 23, 1925, her death record in South Windsor, Connecticut states that her father was John Morkan and her mother Margaret Duecy.I have also seen this surname spelled Doocy. From obituaries she had a brother Patrick, a brother Timothy, a brother William and a sister Mary Maher who stayed in Ireland. Would you be able to see if there were other baptisms in County Tipperary for a Margaret Morkan. The 1900 US census lists Margarets birth month as December. Again, thanks so much for your help. We look forward to visiting a cousin in County Cork and driving thru the area of County Tipperary where the Mokans lived.

Oy vay!  I'm sorry we didn't have the death information before.  But anyway, there was a Margaret in Clontaafe born to John Morkan and Anne Doocy.  This record is from RootsIreland.

I would guess there was a close relationship between John and William Morkan of Clontaafe.

Marriage of John and Anne (from RootsIreland):

Wow Patricia, many thanks. I think this John Morkan is the correct one based on info I have been able to gather in Hartford, Connecticut where the family settled. I look forward to stomping around County Tipperary on our visit in July. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

You are so welcome. Have a wonderful trip.
