However, I can't find (online) any information about their deaths. Also - the father - JOHN I believe came from Dorset, England with two other brothers around the 1850's. I can guess at which "John" he is but I have no birth, marriage or death records to back up my theory. Has anyone out there got "proof" of who this man was? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Description:My grandfather John Michael Duggan was born July 3, 1868 to Michael Duggan of Riverhead Harbour Grace area and Margaret O' Dwyer. They were married and this child was baptised at the Immaculate Conception Church.
Margaret O' dwyer Duggan died in 1875 and the child John was raised by a paternal uncle Peter Dwyer of Harbour Grace. Michael remarried in 1877 and it is believed that he had more children. Michael Duggan is listed as fisherman on voting lists and I did find a death notice for Michael Duggan of Riverhead who died May 11, 1924 at age 89. I believe this was my great grandfather. I am trying to locate any information with regard to him. Did he have siblings? Did he have more children after Margaret died? Where is he buried? I keep coming up short. If anyone can be of help to me it would be greatly appreciated.
