It helps to post the details that you already know, especially since Doherty is probably one of the most common surnames in Donegal.

Strangely enough there's a marriage for James Harkin on the same date but bride listed as Bridget Tuighy:

Interesting >:( Quigley is a local name. Maybe a mistranscription on Family search - mine is from parish records.
