Then John F O'Donnell (who I had thought maybe a cousin to James) dob Dec 1854. Peter(unkown date) and Patrick dob 1844. So My grandfather James and John F were brothers not cousin. I don't know how I missed that before. Found this on Eva Gremont web site. Anyone searching Dohertys(in the Co Donegal area) along with McDaid, McDevitt, Bradley, Callaghan, and others should check her site out. Recently I also learned that my other grandfather Patrick Bradley had not just two sisters and a brother but also another sister (Ellen) and brother(James) I didn't know about. I knew he had Mary, Margaret, and Bernard as his sibblings until search at Eva Gremont's site. Anyone that has connections in Co Donegal/Co Cork, to Doherty, O'Donnell I'd love to hear from you especially if they were in the Carndonagh, Glenmakee area. with details please. I still am trying to find if there is a connection between my great grandmother Susan White Doherty, and Neil Dohert(1838-1878) in Co rk. Neil's daughter Bridget(Feb 1861) wound up marrying John F O'Donnell(dec 1854) in 1881, Carndonagh(Sacred Heart Church). They immigrated to Boston(Stoneham in April 1881-later North End of Boston at the time a big Irish Community) Good Luck in your searching !! Barbara
