Australia / Re: DOHERTY "Lumber King of Rochester" ???
« on: Saturday 05 August 17 08:45 BST (UK)  »
WOW. Thank you. That is so much information for me to work with.  I should be able to put. The Dooley side well and truely on my tree. Although I am not blood related - as he was my grandmothers first husband- but his children were my aunt and uncle. Thank you
I would like to ask one more question of you - my father was raised as a ward of the state in South Australia. How do I go about getting information in relation to this. He was raised in foster homes. I have a lot of his family history but would like to have info on why he was given into car - mi know his father was not a good person in and out of the courts and gaol.  His mother remarried and had another 12 children. Thank you again for all this help

This is the information that I have
Hugh Joseph Doherty  B:1845  Donegal - parents Michael Doherty and Hannah Gibbons

Hugh Joseph married Eliza (Lizzie) Fitzgibbons in 1898 in Victoria

I have a note that he has a brother Patrick but no details to back that up as yet - I believe Patrick married Mary Brennan

Does this help.

sue - I have continued to read your posts.  Yes Amy had two brothers who served in WW1 - one died at the battle of Bullie Court in 1917 - John Gillespie  and the other returned - Robert Gillespie - I have read the records for John.  We actually have letters that they wrote from the trenches - very sad
I have the marriage cert for Annie and Alexander and  I have the death cert of Annie and also for Alexander - the names of parents don't add up.  Different names - I believe Annie was raised by family of her father Henry munro and this could be why she has different names on the cert - she used there names as she was only very young when her mother dies. 
I have had a lot of trouble following Harriett Cross (Annie's mother)

Thank you Ros - I live on the Gold Coast now and obviously trying to get into my family history.  I love it but i do take a long time to find things and then am not sure - I am getting there.

Sue - thank you for the work you have done - and yes there was a considerable age difference - my Granfather Hugh Patrick was only about 20 when he married Amy Dooley Gillespie - she had two young children.  I beleive his family were not impressed with his choice.  They had another 3 children.  The trouble I have had is following her family back - mother Annie Munro Cross and her family.  I have been working on it for some time.  Annie Cross Munro used both names - I have her parents as Harriett Cross and Henry Arthur Munro - I believe Harriett had two children out of marriage and then married Henry Arthur Munro - this is where is got complicated - children used different names both Cross and Munro - and were raised by family as Harriett died aged 40 from Child birth.  I am still trying to piece this together.  Anything you have will always be helpful - if only to back up what i have found.  I very much appreciate your  work

What a wonderful site - thank you all

Ros you are awesome.  I didn't have any of this.  I have not been able to find any info on him.  This gives me a start.  I have checked find a grave but could not come up with anything.  I need you here to show me how you can do this so quickly.  I have not used TROVE and obviously should learn how to use it. My grandmother is Amy Dooley/Doherty (Gillespie) - I have spent so much time following her family.  Her grandmother (Harriett Cross Munro)was not easy to follow and I am still going but making headway - I found this sight while looking for information on her.  I will get better I guess.  I did post on the Kilkenny site 
Once again thank you

Hi - I am trying to find records for Michael Doherty and Hannah Gibbons - I don't have a lot to go on.  I beleive they had children Patrick Doherty, Hugh Doherty and William J - there maybe further children.  The children mentioned moved to Australia
Any help of information with this would be great - thank you all

Thank you again Ros - I am new to this and very new to this site - I will try to do what you suggest.
I seem to waste so much time and probably looking in the wrong place at time.  What I have learnt is to not take the information in other family trees as true - this always seems to lead me in a wrong direction.  Thank you again
