Title: Cecelia Doherty b. abt 1866 Donegal
Post by: Avalon on Tuesday 10 March 09 06:08 GMT (UK)

I would like to find out what happened to Cecelia.

Cecelia was the youngest daughter of Neil Doherty & Sarah McHugh of Legnahoory, Kilmacrenan.

Cecelia's four sisters and one brother immigrated to Australia. Eldest brother Dominic married and raised a family in Donegal.

Hi Laurence

I am not sure....I was given a family tree a few years back and Cecelia's grandparents are Neil O'Dougherty and Sarah McCalvey from Kilmacrenan

Only names were in the tree and no parish records or any proof were given. I don't have any more info.
