Hi Tati,

Thank you so very much for your assistance. You have been a great help.

What a incredible website this is. I have been sending requests for a number of years for the Dohertys on other Genealogy websites and received no response....    Its Magic.

Cheers,
John.

All I had on the family was a census for Stratford in Nova Scotia, Canada.

Im curious as to where did you come across the manuscript on Stratford.

By the way... Stratford married my Great Aunt Mary Louisa Hayes, 1884. Bega,NSW. Some time after his second child was born he shot through to Victoria and remarried.    Unable to settle down.
His first child was named Lionel Wyndham Pearson Doherty.. after his brother.
