• Surname History:
1. By translation, black; 'descendant of dubhthach' (black). this surname is found in all parts of Ireland, and, doubtless, there are several distinct families so-called. the O’Duffys of Connacht are remarkable for the number of eminent prelates they formerly gave to the church in that province. The O’Duffys were also a family of note in Monaghan. in Munster, the name is generally anglicized Duhig, owing to the pronunciation of the final g. The family is, according to Keating, of dalcassian origin. in Ulster, where the name is very common, especially in Monaghan and Donegal, it is sometimes anglicized Dowey and Dooey. see Ó dúithche, (Sloinnte Gaedheal is Gall )
2. A variant of Ó tuathaigh in co. cork, where the final g is sometimes not aspirated. Compare with Ó cobhthaigh and Ó dubhthaigh, (Sloinnte Gaedheal is Gall )

Addendum:

Una Niche wrote 2 Feb 2016:

Hi Bill, Am doing Cloyne at the moment and thought I would keep an eye out for Duhig, as they married in Cloyne. Only came across one Jerry Duhig (Darby). Father Andrew Duhig & Mary Lane daughter Mary Duhig b. 19th Sept 1835. (Page 20). Jerry Duhig b. 7th October 1837 (Page 32). This is P4989/08. Maybe nothing but!

** To complicate matters: Mary stated she was 68 at the time of the 1901 Census of Ireland. That would place her birth at 1833.
