Hi, and welcome to rootschat! There's only one Doherty - Rev.Joseph,  b1879 & son of the late Charles Doherty,.I can give you more information if this turns out to be a relative.

Thank you for the welcome,

Its possible it is a relation, im clutching at straws really! My grandmother was born in Londonderry, Ireland 1919 (Mary Josephine Murphy or O'Donnell) and i know she came over to Scotland sometime in the 30's and stayed with an Auntie who run a hotel/cafe.

I believe the Aunt could be a Rose Doherty (nee McNerlin) wife of John Joseph Doherty.

Thank you for your help

Hello flst, I've been doing some family research and it's turned up a possible link to this Rev John Elder.

You say you have more information on him ... could you give it to me please? I'm really keen to find out more about him and his family.

All the best.

Do you have anything on John Rennie, Convener of the Scottish National Farmer's Union Potato Committee (1936-1949)?   He held other posts before that and was made C.B.E in 1940.  His son, James E. Rennie might also be mentioned.
