    3. Hello All, Maria DORAGH, my gg-aunty, was born near Castlederg, Tyrone, in 1874. She was in Canada by the early 1900s. She married William LA FLOOR (written as such on their gravestone but it was probably LA FLEUR originally) about 1905 and had two daughters. She is remembered by my uncle and older relatives because she sent food parcels to my father and uncle's family during World War 2 when things were pretty bad. She died in 1949 and is buried in Nepean, Ottawa with her husband. I would like to find out when she arrived in Canada (or the US, I don't know where she landed) and on what ship. I've gone cross-eyed searching ships' lists so any help will be gratefully received. I'm also looking for the same type of information on a distant cousin from the Omagh area, Robert DORAGH. He was born about 1865 and was in Olympia, Washington State by the early 1890s. He was a telephone engineer and died in 1922. Again, I'd like to know where and when he arrived in North America. One odd thing is that Robert is an unusual name in England in my family but it is the most common man's name in Ireland in the family. DORAGH was probably DARRAGH originally and it is also spelt as DORRAGH in Tyrone. As far as I know we have nothing to do with similar names in Antrim. Rob Doragh Liverpool UK
