According to the Scottish Records Office, Cornelius (Neal/Neil) HARKINS (b.abt. 1837, Ireland) married MARY DUFFY (b. 1840, Scotland) on 8 Feb. 1858 in Middle or New Parish, Greenock, Scotland They both lived in Greenock (Low Shaw Street) in the 1850s.

Neil's parents were HUGH HARKINS (abt 1810-1858, b. Ireland) and ROSE McFADYN (abt 1810-1865. b. Ireland). There was at least one child, SUSAN HARKINS (of Cransford, Ire.). Neil Harkins is thought to have immigrated from county Donegal (areas of Milford or Cransford) to Greenock, Scotland.

MARY DUFFY'S parents were JOHN DUFFY (abt. 1810-1865, b. Ireland) and JANE MURPHY (abt. 1810-1870, b. Ireland). There was at least one other child, Ellen.

Neil & Mary had two children born in Scotland, ROSE b: Feb. 6, 1858 and JOHN b: April 26, 1859. Both children apparently died prior to 1860.

Neil and Mary Harkins immigrated to Philadelphia between 1859 and 1862. Here they had 12 more children: Hugh, John, James, Mame, Neil, Michael, Catherine, Hannah, Elle, Katheryn, Rose, and Margaret.
