Kerry:

Sorry for taking so long getting back to you...

I was going through some of my wife's family papers
on her Flaherty families that lived in Woburn.

I came across the following newspaper article on
FLAHERTY-DURAN Wedding.

(sic) "A wedding ceremony took place last Sunday evening,
27 June 1934, in St. Charles Rectory when Miss Mary Duran,
daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Patrick Duran of 7 John St., Woburn
became the bride of Mr. Martin Flaherty of 55 Jefferson St.,
Woburn. Rev. Charles P. Heaney officiated at the ceremony
at 7. o'clock. Miss Elizabeth Duran, sister of the bride
was Maid-of-Honor, while a brother of the bride,
Mr. Hebert Duran, was best man."

The groom, Martin Flaherty, was my wife's, Mary Flaherty Sheerin,
uncle.. He and Mary's father, Thomas Flaherty, were brothers.
Their father was Martin Flaherty, born 1870, who came from
Inisheer, lived in Woburn and worked at the Leather Mill there.

If the above Duran Family are "yours" please let me know.

Take care and God Bless.

Jake Sheerin.

The Dirrane/Durant tree sounds like a great idea. Here is my info.

Peter Dirrane (b. abt 1835, Kilronan, son of Martin Dirrane) married to
Catherine Connolly Sept 21, 1865.

Children of Peter Dirrane and Catherine Connolly

John b Dec 3, 1869 Twins
Martin b Dec 3, 1869
Mary b. Jan 26, 1879
B. Joseph b. Feb 22, 1883(?)
Patrick b.July 22, 1883(?)
Bridget b. Dec 19, 1890

All but Bridget immigrated to Woburn, MA
Mary Duran was my great-grandmother.
If you would like descendency information, I will provide it.
Thanks,
Kerry
