I am unable to find any record of the marriage of Richard Gallagher and Ellen Clarke. I know that the couple were resident in Derry, as Richard died at his residence, 65 William Street, Derry city, on January 13th 1903. He is described as being from 'old Derry stock' in his obituary in the Derry Journal. His widow, Ellen, and their children, are recorded as residing at William Street, in the 1901 census, and at Lone Moor Road in the 1911 census. The earliest birth record that I have been able to find for any of their children is for Francis Gallagher, who was born in Derry city on July 22nd 1870.

Any help locating this marriage would be greatly appreciated!!!

I have been trying to find the birth record for Sean Dolan (or John Dolan), in order to clarify who his mother was, but as yet have been unsuccessful. It is recorded in Derry newspapers that Sean was a prominent Derry Republican in the 1930's and early 40's, and that he was interned in 1940 along with seven other Derrymen. He was also a musician and the secretary of Derry G.A.A. Board. He died aged 28 in Waterside Hospital on October 25th 1941, and was buried in Ardmore Roman Catholic cemetery. According to Sean's death notice in the Derry Journal his father was John D. Dolan, of Albany, New York, and his aunt was Margaret Curran, of 12 Union Street, Waterside. I know for a fact that Margaret never married, so presumably the maiden name of Sean's mother was Curran

Any information about the identity of Sean Dolan's mother, his date of birth, and birthplace, or other relevant info, would be gratefully appreciated.

Hi,

I am looking for Dohertys recorded as residing at Barrack Street (also known as Pitt Street), Derry city, in the Derry Almanac and Directory, for the years 1880 through to (and including) 1883. Also, for Dohertys that lived at Moore Street (or Munn Street), Derry city, from 1880 through to (and including) 1886.

Thanks in advance,
Brendan

Hi

I am looking for the details for two Ellen Dohertys recorded on the Old Age Pension census search forms of 1908-21. This information will appear in Josephine Masterson's book "Ireland, 1841/1851 Census Abstracts (Northern Ireland)", or from the same source on the ancestry website (which I don't have a subscription for). I would be very grateful to anybody out there, who has access to either of these sources, that would pass on the information to me.

Best wishes,
Brendan
