Hi, Heather, The Archives of New Brunswick have a wonderful search site: http://archives.gnb.ca/Search/VISSE/141B7.aspx?culture=en-CA&guid=0317d509-e9aa-41c2-8450-30f7e7acf115 I found a note of Patrick's death in a section called burial permits, but was actually a round up of deaths in the newspaper. The birth of daughter Mary and her marriage are in these free records. Mother's name is given as McKenna in both. I found Patrick's death in the Drouin collection, giving his date as 3 Jan 1909, and age as 84. This jibes with the age in the 1901 Census, but would make him born in 1825. (On Ancestry) He is not in the 1871 Census, but he is listed in a Fredericton City Directory for 1871 on Ancestry. The landing at Gloucester, MA is a new one on me. It's a tiny place, those perhaps in the heyday of whaling it was bigger. But I've never seen passenger records for Gloucester, ever. That's not to say that it didn't happen, it just very much out of the ordinary. Also bear in mind that the eldest son was born in Ireland in 1856. There seems a huge gap to the next child that I found. But I'd expect that son Michael was named for Patrick's father. As I'm sure others will say: somewhere there's a document on THIS side of the pond that will help you narrow your search. Good luck, Judith --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Hello Heather, Doohan is a most uncommon family name in Co. Tyrone and the only families recorded in Griffiths Valuation (c1860) are all located in Legphressy townland, Longfield East Parish, approx 8-10 kms south of the village of Drumquin. GRIFFITHS VALUATION LONGFIELD EAST PARISH c1860 Legphressy Townland Heads of Households: Hugh, Patrick and Bridget DOOHAN Looking to the tithe applotment book we find: TITHE APPLOTMENT BOOK: LONGFIIELD PARISH PARISH 1829 Legphressy Townland Tithepayers: Hugh, Owen & Widow DOOHAN EMIGRATION RECORDS: "Mary Ann"sailing from Londonderry to St. John 1852 DOOHAN Patrick, Drumquin "Mary Ann"sailing from Londonderry to St John 1852 (second sailing?) DOOHAN, Michael, Edward (12) & Mary (7), Drumquin There are no Doohans recorded in Langfield East parish in the 1901 census indicating that the family had died or entirely emigrated. All the above data was compiled from pages and links on our CountyTyroneIreland (CTI) website. Is there another county genealogy website in Ireland offering so much? Trusting this makes sense and assists your search. Regards, Len Swindley, Melbourne, Australia
