McCormick & Docherty

[kris47]

I am hoping someone can tell me where in Donegal this family was born.
John McCormick b1825, Helen McCormick b1827, Alexander McCormick b1830, Mary Ann McCormick b1830, George McCormick b1832, James McCormick b1834, Hugh McCormick b1836,& Sarah McCormick b 1839, they are the children of John or George McCormick & Margaret Docherty.
The family came to Scotland 1839-1841, they show in the 1841 census in Garnkirk, Cadder, Lanarkshire.

In Ireland the name Ellen will most likely be used instead of Helen.

Have a look at Introduction to Irish Records and My Ancestor came from Ireland - where do I start?.

Are you looking into McCormick and Docherty or Doherty? We maybe related.

Hi bgengomez2009     I took the name Docherty off death certs.    as the informants were illiterate they would not know if the registrar had the correct spelling!

John McCormick married Eliz Carnegie & Sarah Mechan, Helen McCormick married Felix Hart, Mary Ann McCormick married Thos Garretty, Geo McCormick married Isabella Cameron, James McCormick married Rebecca Bell, Hugh McCormick married Agnes Black & Sarah McCormick married Michael Bradley.    Is there a connection?

Peter McCool -POB-Coraine, Ireland Married Hannah McCool McCool Had one daughter that I am aware of who is my Great -Great Grand mother Margaret McCool Pob-Coraine, Ireland. Margaret McCool Married James McCormick POB-Coraine, Donegal, Ireland. They had a total of 13 Children one set of twins that we know of. From what my great Grandmother Anna told us who was one of the 13th not many of them lived. As far as we know two of them moved to the U.S. Below is the children in order

Some more info I have yet to research and prove


"...Peter McCool -POB-Coraine, Ireland Married Hannah McCool McCool Had one daughter that I am aware of..."
According to 1911 census there were 6 children (all living in 1911)- 2 are with the parents, Peter and Cassie (possibly Catherine):
www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Donegal/Altnapaste/Corraine/507200

In 1901 there are 4 of their children in the household- Mary Anne, Peter, Cassie, James:
www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Donegal/Altnapaste/Corraine/1197389

If this is the same Cassie McCool then it looks like her brother Peter/Patrick went to New Zealand:
"Probate of the Will of Peter otherwise Patrick McCool late of Kinaderry County Donegal Private New Zealand Forces who died 9 June 1917 in France granted at Londonderry to Cassie McCool Spinster."
