Oh thats interesting! Rosie! Quite possible his father was John Doughty then given the JR part. Tysm
Think you've just broken a massive brick wall down for me! So I suspected the John ive originally questioned is an ancestor but a lack of birth record made it hard (not sure why there is a lack of record, maybe something happened). You found the record for above and she and her father are all in my tree I just couldnt make the connection. With the help of the other roots chat member, she amazingly found he was called John Doughty Jr. I originally did this post into a separate tree as I couldnt connect but now I can add it to my actual tree because of youre amazing info! Thanks!
