Hi Agnes,

Thanks for your reply.
My grandfather was Daniel Doherty from Urris, his parents were Edward and Mary Ann b.1840 & 1847 I believe. I dont know what happened to his siblings other than his brothers John and Joe who died in Urris. Although I spent a few holidays in Dunaff in the late 60's at my mothers cousin,Bridgit McGonagle,I dont know where the Doherty house is or was.Neither do I know if there are any descendants still there.
Daniel Doherty's wife was Bridgit Kearney(Bryans)from Leenankeel.

Regards

Andrew

My grandfather was Michael Kearney (JohnDenny).  My great uncle was John Doherty(Davis)  He was somehow related on my grandfather's side and married to my gradmother's sister.  I visited Leenankeel 2X in the late 90s and had the opportunity to meet many family members for the first time.

John Doherty (Davis) was born around 1905.  He was well know in the area.  He was very tall and had red hair when he was young aka "Big Red Davis"  He came to the US and lived out his days here but never forgot he was a Urris Lad.  He passes away about 6 years ago.

Am interested in Arthur Doherty a farmer from Moville who married Anne Kearney from Milltown on Feb 7, 1869 at the Roman Catholic Chapel of Bocan.  Arthur's father was Cornelius and Ann's father was Neal Kearney.

Hi,
I believe your Granny was my Aunt - living at house no 29 in Urrismenagh in 1911 census. If so can you provide her date of birth and also that of her father Daniel and mother Ellen (Harkin).

Hope you are able to help - with thanks,
Hicky
