At the risk of interrupting the erudite discussions on chalking gravestones, I wonder can anyone help me with the Griffiths Valuation and the O'Dohertys. I have looked at both Bob's site and the Failte Romhat site and I can see that the GV index shows there were only three "O" Dohertys in the whole of Donegal (ignoring variations in spelling the Doherty bit) but over 100 Dohertys (without the "O") in Fahan Lower alone. I assumed this is due to officialdom's over zealous anglicisation of the name. And yet, while looking for O'Dohertys, I noticed that there were hundreds of O'Donnells - with an "O". Less evidence of anglicisation there. Anyone any other suggestions just in case I were ever to be asked why the O'Dohertys are only found under Doherty?
