Hiya Docherty!
Welcome to Rootschat, and welcome to our little Duntocher family discussion thread!
I have a few Docherty's in my file -
Richard Docherty and Annie MacDonald (nothing much on them)
their Son - Archibald Docherty married my great Aunt Flora Stewart, Oct 30, 1925 at St. marys.
Archie died, and Flora emigrated to new Zealand with her children -
Annie, Catherine, Florence, Pat, Vera, William and Maureen.
I also have a family of Doherty's in the Duntocher area -
Philip Doherty married Margaret Coyle , Jan 2 1899 at St. mary's. They had a wack load of kids, and lived in the Clydebank area in later years.
any connect??

All roads lead back to Ireland!

Thanks Debbie.
You are quite right - all roads lead back to Donegal (and what a challenge that particular place is!).
My father was Peter Gallagher (b. 1923 Duntocher)
My grandparents were Charles Gallagher (b. 1895 Duntocher) and Agnes McLean (b. 1901 Duntocher).
My G grandparents were Peter Gallagher (c. 1857 Toame, Donegal) and Elenora (Ellen) Quigley (c. 1867 Donegal).
My GG grandparents were Hugh Gallagher (c. 1830 Toame, Donegal) and Eleanor McGee (c. 1835 unknown Ireland).
I have lots of other detailed info that I can give you if necessary. Charles and Peter were both Cobblers or Shoemakers by trade and the trade was passed on from father to son. Peter was, by all reports an alcoholic and womaniser!! My grandmother Agnes eventually took over the Cobblers shop previously run by my grandfather when the business started to fail and she ran a general dairy/lolly shop for many years which was continued after her death. The shop is still there on Dumbarton Road opposite the soccer grounds and is still in the family but currently leased out and operated as a Florist.
Hope some of this helps - would be great to see if there are any possible connections. My family also has connections with the Cairney family who have a considerable presence in the Duntocher/Hardgate areas.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Good morning Leagle1,
Well, I have scoured my files. Those Gallachers are such a deceiving lot!! You look at the names, and think - oh yes, I know that family... Then you check the files, and it's oops... not them!
I have come to the conclusion, that every male was either a Peter, or a Patrick, and every female was either Agnes or Ellen. LOL! 
I don't have any extra info on your branch of the family, but I certainly know who your Granny was. I was brought up on stories from my own Mum about Aggie Gallagher that ran the sweetie shop. 
I may have met a couple of your cousins a few years ago in Duntocher?? My hubby and I were making a video around Auchentoshan Ave., and two fellows at the corner of Auchentoshan and Dalgleish avenue introduced themselves as descendants of your Granny.
It's probably a very safe bet that all the Gallachers in and around Duntocher were related in some way or another, proving the connections is tough when we have to rely on the Donegal records.
Like you say - a challenge!
Anyway, welcome to Rootschat Cousin! If we can't find the connection straight away, it will probably come to light with further research.
Deb
