Looking for parents of my ggf, David DOUGAN. He was born about 1837 "near Belfast" His parents were John DOUGAN/DOOGAN and Agnes Moffat. John DOUGAN was a Farmer/Laborer
We have found a John DOOGAN who married a Nancy MOFFAT in Ballyroney, Down, Ireland in 1820. (This record was takens from the OPR of the Presbyterrian Church). This DOUGAN/DOOGAN Family had several children, one named David.
David DOUGAN is listed the 1861 Glasgow Census. He was at that time a carpet weaver, born in Ireland. He married Isabella ALEXANDER in Glasgow in 1863. David DOUGAN died in 1871 in Calton District Glasgow. He was had a grocer's store in Calton. His son, my gf, also named David DOUGAN, was born 4 days after his father's death. It is said that relatives from Northern Ireland attended the funeral, dressed in tall black hats and mourning coats. David DOUGAN's death certificate indicate that his parents were still alive in 1871.
We have reached a huge brick wall, and cannot find a way to determine if the David DOUGAN from Ballyroney, is actually our relative. Any help would be appreciated.
