Family History Beginners Board / Re: Dooley/Titterton family and the Irish connection

That last reply from me was to Claire R. but somehow another response from TunjiLees got in the middle. Here is a reply to TunjiLees:
Hi,
The only male relative I have on the Dooley line, who is also descended from a Dooley father, is not very interested in getting his DNA tested. I will see if I can prod him into it! The name "Dooley" after all stems from O Dubhhaoloich, or something like that, which is obviously Gaelic. Is this Irish Gaelic or Scottish Gaelic, I wonder? I know many Scots Gaels moved into Ireland back in history sometime.

This is all wonderful information. Where are you searching? Are you using one source or multiple sources? With all the libraries closed now, I find it hard to access the materials I need. I don't buy subscriptions to all the genealogy sites as the Ottawa library has licenses for all of them so they are free to use. The genealogy librarian is there to help, as well. This lockdown is a bit frustrating, but of course, I understand and support it. The information you have given here is invaluable and will help me a lot.
I understand that the Dooley connection to Ireland may go back centuries for some. The farther back it goes though, the more I wonder how Dooleys got to England. It wasn't easy in those days pre-1600s.
It's the same with Scottish connections pre-railway days. How on earth did peasants manage to travel so far? It's a bit of a conundrum.

Yes, that's the man. So you and I are related. He would be my grandmother's great grandfather, I think. Do you know anything about the village where he lived and his occupation?

It seems as if this is the same family. The paternal name of the Staffordshire Dooleys was Samuel. The Titterton branch that I can trace my family back to was John Titterton.

Would it be possibe to trace them back to Liverpool (assuming that's where they originally settled)? I'm betting the Irish connection was way back as my g. grandfather, Joseph Dooley died in 1939 and current family history as of then was that the family was English and there was no Irish in us! Since he was born 8n 1862, he would have been within a couple of generations of any Irish influx from the late 1700s.

Thank you for your information. I checked out the links you sent and found the Tamworth history really interesting. However, when I checked the other link, the family search one, I could find nothing on Samuel Dooley. I tried the IGI index and could only find records for Samuel Dooley in the mid 1700s.
Could you tell me how you found the listing you sent me, please? I'm not very adept at knowing how to find elusive entries yet.
How can I check to be sure that the Samuel Dooley in the listing is later the father of "my" Joseph Dooley?

Family History Beginners Board / Dooley/Titterton family and the Irish connection
« on: Sunday 27 July 08 06:53 BST (UK) »
Hi, I'm new to this "sport" and more than a little lost, so I wonder if anyone can help push me in the right direction. With the help of a friend I've found my Dooley ancestors in Wilnecote/Buddesley/Fazeley area but the counties are given variously as Staffordshire, Warwickshire and Derbyshire all in the same census or bmd records! This is confusing. The facts about my family as far as I know them are this: My g. grandfather Joseph Dooley was born around 1862 in Buddesley. His parents were Samuel Dooley and Harriet, nee Hull. Samuel was born in Swadlincote Derbyshire in 1831. Samuel's father was John Dooley, but I don't know when or where he was born. I'm trying to find out if there's an Irish connection.
Does anyone know how I would push back to find if John Dooley's ancestors came from Ireland?
That's the Dooleys. Joseph Dooley married Fanny Titterton. I understand the Titttertons came from Cheshire originally. Again, I can't get back beyone the 1800s. Fanny's father was John Titterton and her mother was also called Harriet (or Harriett). But I can't find any other information. I've looked in Ancestry, but can't find anything.
