Birth August 1864 Montiagh, Achonry, County Sligo, Ireland   1a
Event Note

This could be Peter's birth record. The parents' names match, the county matches his sister Ann's son Thomas' wikipedia article, and the month and year match Peter's 1900 censuses. other American records said he waa a few years younger. From the image at http://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/.

Superintendent Registrar's District: Tubbercurry, Registrar's District: Tubbercurry, County Sligo

Peter [son of] Patrick Durkan a farmer of Montaugh, and Bridget Durkan, formerly Cafferty. Informant: Bridget -her mark- Durkan, mother of child, of Montaugh

I didn't find a match anywhere in baptisms at findmypast for this civil registration birth of Peter Durkan. Nor was it in the images of Kilmactigue Parish at nli.ie. Curry Parish baptisms don't start until October 1867

Note:
his 1900 census said he was born in August 1864
his naturalization information said he was born November 1866
his 1910 census said he was born in 1866
his son Edward's birth record said he was born about 1867
a son's birth record (1895, Cleveland) said he was born about 1867
his death record said he was born July 28, 1868. His son Edward was the informant.
