Donegal / Re: Edward Doherty Family of Buncrana
« on: Saturday 01 December 12 04:02 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Marie,
I obtained the certificate for the marriage of Edward Doherty and Fanny Duggan, and now know their fathers to be Patrick Doherty and John Duggan. The residence at time of marriage listed for Frances Duggan is Luddan, which makes sense to me, but for Edward it's Moyle. Is Moyle located in Buncrana too, or somewhere else? The later generations of Dohertys were in Luddan, Lower Fahan, but I'm trying to figure out where to look now for Patrick. Any thoughts on Moyle?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Thanks, Marie. That gets me one step closer. Plus, it tells me that my great grandmother Fanny probably had a sister named Bridget, unless of course that was her mother present as a witness. I appreciate your help!

Yes, I will. Struggling in isolation is no fun!

Padraig,
You have been so generous with your time. Thank you! The certificate process (payment from U.S.) sounds daunting, but I'll give it a try. I appreciate your help.

Hi Padraig,
Does that imply that John is Edward's father?

Hi Padraig,

Yes, that's my family (absent my grandmother Frances). Thank you for the clarification on the name Ludden, and the link to the map. I'd looked at that map before but not connected Ludden with my family. On the Griffeth's Valuation Index, I see several Edward Dohertys, but I'm not sure which might be mine. I do see a Denis McGonigle, Ballymacarry, who I now realize married Kate Doherty. I'm hoping that detail might help somehow!

Any other thoughts? I appreciate your help.

Donegal / Edward Doherty Family of Buncrana
« on: Thursday 13 September 12 00:12 BST (UK)  »
Greetings --

I'm researching my maternal grandmother's family of origin and can't seem to get past her immediate family and parents, as listed in the 1901 Census. They lived in Buncrana. The father's name was Edward and mother's was Fanny (Duggan, I've been told, but can't confirm). It appears that Edward was born about 1839 and Fanny about 1859. The children were: John (1880), Mary (1882), Michael (1884), Kate (1887), Ellen (1889), Bridget (1890), Bernard (1891), Eddy (1893), Anne (1895), Joseph (1898), Patrick (1900). My grandmother, Frances, was not listed on the 1901 Census (assume she was away?) but was born in 1892. The names and birth years of the others have been confirmed by older members of the family, so I believe this to be the correct Doherty family. All of the children came to the U.S. but two (not completely sure which two).

I've been very successful in researching the other lines of my family, but the Doherty line has stumped me. Where do I go from here? As you can tell, I'm new to the world of Irish genealogy; it's overwhelming!

Thank you for any direction you can provide!

Eleanor
