DonHugo,

Do you have any information about Hugh Donnachie c1825 and/or Catherine McLusky's parents, such as DOB or where they were born?

[DonHugo]

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 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.

Thank you. It was Bernard Donachy  that I was interested in as I've got the info for  Hugh.

I'll have a furtle around for him this afternoon.

Do you have a death for Barney/Bernard - Hugh's father?  I can't find him on SP so assume he must have died before 1855.

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.

Don Hugo,

You asked previously if I knew anything of any of Hugh Donnachie's children.  His son, John Donahue emigrated to the US.  He is on the 1900 Census at Ward 27, Cuyahoga, Ohio, USA.  Also listed are his wife Catherine (born Scotland); children-Hugh (Scotland); John (Scotland); Mary (Scotland); Catherine (Pennsylvania); Agnes (Pennsylvania); Josephine (Ohio) and Anna (Ohio).  Agnes married Ed Rumplik and they had 5 children.  If you want you can send me a PM and I can provide more information.

Don Hugo,

A little more information on John Donnachie or John Donahue.  He married Catherine Toye in St Margaret's RC Church, on 25 Apr 1883.
