Surnames: Doherty/dubh Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/TCT.2ACEB/444.1 Message Board Post: Hi Caroline I do not know if this will be useful to you, my gggrandfather was Patrick Doherty and he was from (near) Buncrana, Donegal Ireland, his birth year was approx 1847, at this stage I have not been able to establish his parents names. However, I do know that he married in Tyrone Ireland in 1872 and not long after that came out to Australia with his new wife Ellen. If this is the same family, would love to hear from you.
