Dougherty Family in Dandenong, Victoria from Lincolnshire, England
« on: Thursday 23 October 08 21:18 BST (UK) »
Robert Thomas Dougherty married Gertrude Elizabeth Foxon in Lincolnshire in 1915.

They emigrated to Victoria very shortly afterwards.  I have found them on the Australian Voters list for 1924 in Dandenong.
They had many children, some I have names for, but others just initials, it is the initials I would like names for if poss.

The first child was Nora bn 1917 Victoria ( I presume Dandenong) Another daughter was Frances Mabel bn 1925 in Dandenong, but there were others that include:

H.L.  Dougherty (male) bn 1920
R.T.  Dougherty (male) bn 1922
J.  Dougherty (male) bn 1926
E.L.   Dougherty (female) 1927

I've tried the Passenger Lists, but don't really know if I'm looking at the right ones.  They all seem too early for this family.

If anyone is researching this family or knows how I can find this names of these children, please get in touch.  I am connected to them through their mother Gertrude Elizabeth Dougherty (nee Foxon)

Thanks

Hi

Unfortunately you can't get access to births after 1921.

But if you buy Gertrude's death certificate it should have the names of her children

DOUGHERTY Gertrude Elizabeth
Father  John Will Foxon
Mother Mary Theresa
Died Oakl
Aged 88 in 1984
Reg Number 16825

If you go to this website you can download the certificate immediately for AUD $17.50

Hope that helps

Hi naranjas pocita

You might want to check Robert Thomas Dougherty's WW1 service record.  They married 20th Nov 1918 an extract of the certificate is in the records.

There is also an army record for one of their sons.

www.naa.gov.au
go to search now and search as a guest.

According to New South Wales, Australia, Unassisted Immigrant Passenger Lists, 1826-1922
Lieut & Mrs Dougherty arrived Sydney 4 Sep 1919 'Friedrichsruh'

An entry for a G E Dougherty arriving 1919  Destination - Sydney , year of birth - 1893

http://www.findmypast.com/migration.jsp

Just click on Passenger Lists leaving UK

That entry could perhaps tie in with Genni's previous posting about the details in the NSW Unassisted passenger lists for 1919.

Could not find anything definite for Robert though.
