Hi

Do you at least have the names of the parents of this Mary Doherty as the name would be common in Derry, it would help to narrow the search, also are you talking about county or city?

Hi There,

Where did you get her date of birth from? Do you have her marriage certificate or know who she married? (it should give her fathers name)

Also as joe said do you have any place names or anything to narrow it down? There are a lot of Doherty's in Derry at the time.

Cheers,
Holly

Just going off the names, there is a Mary Rose O'Doherty born 13th March 1918. Who has siblings Philomena born - 9th April 1922 and Andrew Kevan born 9th May 1919. Londonderry Urban. Parents Patrick, a barber & Jane Kelly.

Just a possible maybe? Until we get more information?

The parents were married at CATHEDRAL OF ST. EUGENE 19th of November 1917. I can give the full info if you think it may be them.

thanks all for your replies,
    here is everthing we have
    Mary Doherty b. approx.1917/18 presumed Derry.
    Died 25 April 1911 as Mary Miller.
    Married to Robert Miller - not known where or when.Robert b.1920 d.20 Dec. 1950 in Derry.
    Robert and Mary were living at 103 Dungiven Road when daughter Mary Nora was born 28 Dec.
    1943.
    In Nov.1999 the Millers were victims of loyalist petrol attack on their home at 7 Bann Drive. This
    was reported in Derry Journal and gives Mary's age as 82.
    The secretary at St.Columbs RC church has checked records and found Mary Doherty b. 1 Dec.
    1918.This is the only one that would be close to the right age.
    Would love to buy marriage certificate for Robert and Mary but do not have a date.

    thanks all for helping...........bigjon

Hi,
If you have only presumed she was born Derry why are you sure she was christened in St Columbs RC Church? I can see at least a dozen Mary Doherty's born in those years in Derry.

Cheers,
Holly

hi Holly,
    St. Columbs is the local Roman Catholic church to the addresses I have so it seemed the obvious place to check for records. It was confirmed as used for baptism of Mary Norah Miller 29 Dec. 1943,burrial of Robert Miller 22 Dec.1950 and burial of Mary Miller 27 April 2011.
The birth 1 Dec. 1918 is the closest I can get.If I can find she has the right siblings, then she is the one.
