The Entry Doagh

[saz1401]

Thanks Anthony
I think my little sister has given up for today. I am taking a time to explore this site - lots and lots to see and do.
Say hello to N.I. for me - I am looking forward to a visit home with sis in the very near future - missing the tatty bread and soda!!!

Have just found this page - yes I know I'm slow.  I am interested in anything to do with Doagh.  My Grandfather was John Hill and he was a shoemaker in Main Street, Doagh.  Other family names are Mullan and Gault, we also have some Todds.  All common names, but I have to start somewhere.  Any help appreciated.

a big welcome from the Ireland boards to you Barbara

you know how to get a person excited......my Kirkpatricks Gault/Galts Twig some Todd's ,Porters and many more names were in Doagh and the surrounding areas.

My Grandmother having been born in " the Entry "at Doagh...(thats why I have been trying to find it).

I wil look out any photographs I may have of Doagh for you, and will go through anything else that might be of interest.

Do you have any more information for me to search for ..names etc

hello Steve,
the story so far ...  John born 6 2 1869 was one of many children (I don't know exactly how many!) of Alexander Hill and Agnes Todd daughter of Robert and ? Todd.
John married Sarah Mullan daughter of Andrew and Harriet Mullan nee Gault.
They raised  eleven children.   Their eldest dau Agnes married James Todd, second son Alexander married Agnes Mullan and their youngest son Roland was my father.
Lots of Todds and Mullans.  Anything you can get your teeth into?
