Hi

"On the same census his occupation is seaman, like his father and his partner Mary Doherty's father John Docherty - Seaman: Merchant services."We have 2 similar names in our burial registers at the Msida Bastion Garden in Malta. Unfortunately, I can't find anything about them. Could they be related ?
John Doherty Halifax, died 1864 Malta
Mary Halifax, died 18 Jul 1854 Malta
But I have also this :
John DOHERTY, 21+, widower, born in Sligo, Ireland, employee HM Dockyard, the son of Patrick and Mary Doherty, married 12th December 1865 to, Barbara HALLIFAX, 21+, spinster, born in Wigton, Cumberland, the daughter of Barbara and the late Reverend Joseph Hallifax
And this :
John DOHERTY, Master of the Union of Malta Lodge No.407 in 1871
I'm clueless....
