BrightonDCO, many thanks for the info, especially about his marriage to Catherine Toye.

I have been told their daughter Jo married Ed(?) Holicky.

Will PM you.

My family tree schematic shows his death as 'aftr 1861 ??'.  This was based on the marriage cert of his youngest daughter Catherine to John Murphy in Kilmarnock, 1860, GROS 597/00 0133.

Greetings gnu,

For Hugh Donachy, b 1825

1841 Crosshouse, Kilmarnock parish, Ayrshire, GROS 598/00 002/00 005
1851 No. 2, Kilmarnock, GROS 597/00 006/00 016
1861 15 New Street, Kilmarnock, GROS 597/00 006/00 032.

He married 1847.

I realise that I only have the 1841 census for Hugh's father, Barney.  I don't know why - the information may be in mass of unfiled data.

Hugh Donachie parents:-

Father - Bernard Donachy (or Donaghlly)
    b 1800-1806 in Derry, Ireland (Don't know if it is the county or the city but as he was an ag.lab. then I would guess the county).  Information from 1841, 1851, and 1861 Census.

    I have no information as to where, when or how he died.

Mother - Agnes Shirkie.  I have no information about her birth or death.  In the 1841 Census, Elinor Sharkey, age 50, is lodger.  The wife, Agnes, is not listed in the 1841 Census.  The youngest daughter's name is given as Catharine (with two a's)


Catherine McLuskie - I have no information about her parents other than he was a farmer.

Greetings BrightonDCO,

My grandfather Bernard Donachy (b 1865) was the youngest son of the 9 children that Hugh Donachy had.

Hugh was the eldest of the 7 children born to Bernard Donachy and Agnes Shirkie (or Sharkey).  They appear in the 1841 census as DONAGHLLY (two LL's); a surname that not appeared anywhere else although DONAGHLY (one L) has.

My thanks to Gnu for the Catholic marriage certificate.  I did not think to try under Donchy!

My thanks to you both.  Now I know where it is.

Now all I have to do is to find out why she went there.

Can anyone tell me the location of 33 West Russell Street in the district of Milton, Glasgow?

I have a relative who died there in 1908 but I have not yet found it in the 1901 census.

Graveyards and Gravestones / Re: Deciphering Illegible Inscriptions on Headstones - could modern technology help?

Sounds like a good question for a University Physics or Forensics Dept.

Lasers, thermal imaging, . . ?
