Doherty marries a McCafferty, a Kearney, & another Doherty

[ScottishLass]

Hi MegMS

Bob (Duffy C) and I are related, we share the same great great grandparents John Doherty & Rose McCafferty. I have searched our trees and can find no trace of a James Callahan. There are many Mary Doherty's/Docherty's in our tree but none that match your Mary Doherty. 

Have you tried searching for her using 'Docherty'? My g/father John Doherty added a 'c' to his name when he came to Scotland from Ireland. All my relations in Scotland are now known as Docherty. It seemed to be the common thing in those days.

Also it might help you if you find out the tee name for your Doherty's. It's such a common name in Ireland that each family were given a tee name to help identify them. Our line of Doherty were 'Mullier' Doherty's.

I wish you good luck in your search. If you do find you are part of the 'Mullier' Doherty line, come back to us.

Kind regards NP

Thank you, Scottish Lass!  I appreciate your looking.  I have tried all the different spellings in Ireland, Scotland and England.  Without a parent or even sibling of my gggrandmother Mary, it's impossible. All I know is that she and James Callahan are my ggmother's parents...  and that there may be a Gibbons connection.  I was hoping maybe the Regina who 'knows a ton' that Bob mentioned might be able to help me?  I'll keep looking for a marriage cert.  Good luck in your own research!

Hi MegMS

You are very welcome. I'm sorry I couldn't find a connection for you.  I did a quick search for you on family search and found the following information:

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FPF5-GH9

It seems to match what you already have.  Maybe you will find more on this site.  It's free and is quite useful.

I'll get back to you if I find anymore info.

Kind regards NP
