Michael Doherty and Grace Quigg
« on: Monday 01 June 09 21:11 UTC (UK) »
Looking for info on Michael Doherty and Grace Quigg - Donegal Ireland.  Two children that I know of:  Nicholas b. abt 1888 - 1896 and Cassie living in Brooklyn.  Possibly another sibling Sarah Ann b about 1878.   Nicholas came to NY in 1912 and I know quite a bit about him and a lot about his wife's family (see other posting on Nicholas and Susan Duffy McGrory Doherty.)  But I am really looking for info on his parents and trying to connect his Doherty line to mine.

Any info would be much appreciated.  Thanks!

IGI lists Sarah Anne Doherty born 24 Mar.1878 Co. Donegal.
1911 census for Co. Donegal just released the other day and if the family left Ireland in 1912 you could search for them in that census:
www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search
Index to civil registrations is now online (also free) on LDS Pilot site (down at the moment but will be back shortly).

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE HEADS UP ON THE 1911 CENSUS!!

Found Nicholas in House #27 in Tiryrone, Castlecary, Donegal in 1911 Census with his parents Michael and Grace Doherty and other siblings.   Also found Nicholas's (future) wife on the census with her family......

but still don't know who Michael Doherty's parents were.....that's the missing link.  Michael was such a common Doherty name.....

If the Dohertys were Catholic and married after 1864 (possible as son born c1888) there should be a civil marriage record. If you check the LDS pilot site under 1st Grace Quigg and then 2nd Michael Doherty, then cross-reference for matching index details you'll be able to order their marriage certificate which will give their residences at time of marriage and should have their fathers' names and occupations which will help when searching for other local records, church records, etc. Site is still down but keep checking as it will be back before too long.

It looks like the couple were married in Derry (a lot of Donegal marriages and births were reg. Derry)

DOHERTY MICHAEL QUIGG GRACE 1876 M

From Irishgenealogy.i.e.

Though the Irish pilot search site is back up, I couldn't see a marriage for a Grace Quigg there.  I felt it wasn't behaving properly though.
        
added--I think it's possible they were married in St Eugenes, hence the civil reg. in Derry.

Not working correctly yet- I searched for any Quiggs in all of Ireland and it came up that nothing was found! Perhaps best to wait until tomorrow and try again.

Thanks for the reference to irishgeneology.i.e      I was NOT aware of that site!   Started looking around and getting hits all over the place!    VERY EXCITING! 

Will also check out the LDS pilot site....am not too familiar with it....the few times I tried it, I got zilch.....but will keep checking on it.    I always use the regular LDS site and it's been very helpful (as well as very frustrating when nothing shows up on someone you KNOW existed!!).

I'm still having problems finding my old LDS Pilot page i.e. Irish reg. page. 

My original link now seems to take me to a general pilot search page.

Glad you like the Irishgenealogy.i.e.page
