Doherty and Deeny in Inch, Donegal

[ktravers]

Thanks for that info. Was getting a bit confused. Here in Scotland the postcode covers a wide area so trying to find a particular house - especially using sat nav - is useless! It takes you to one location in a rural area.

Hi

Hopefully the users on this feed are still active after all this time!

I am also tracing Dohertys from Grange, Inch, Donegal and after seeing your post I wonder if we have any cross overs?

I have:
Alfred Dougherty 1891-1938
Alfred's father = Robert Doherty c1851-1912
Alfred's grandfather = James Doherty c1790-1882
I've got some details of siblings and marriages and can't see a John Doherty on there but wonder if there is any commonality given the close proximity?

Hi. Still here! I don’t recognise any of those names but there were a few Doherty families in Inch. I’ll see if do have any info that might help.

Hi ktravers

Thanks so much for the reply. I'd be really interested if we find a crossover. I have done quite a bit of research but with so many Dohertys in the area I can't confirm which are extended family! I thought it was worth a punt with the link to Grange.

Hi Kiltaglassan

A belated welcome to RootsChat, jubz 

Here are some links that might help others to help you.

Thanks for the welcome!  and thank you so much for taking the time to do the searches. Apologies, I should have perhaps included more details in my earlier post! I have done quite a bit of research but have hit the wall (mainly with the limitations of records available).

So far I have been using all the available online resources, would anyone have any tips for the next steps? Would parish records for this area be held in PRONI or in Dublin - some pre-partition records are Donegal, others are Londonderry?

Also would anyone know if there any physical records held locally on Inch? In addition to birth/deaths/marriage, is there a way to access burial records for this area?

Many thanks

Jubz
