would be grateful for any help with the mother of James Dougherty who was born between 1841 and 1847 according to various census. the 1881 and 1901 have him born in Backworth, 1847 & 1843 respectively.
He married aged 21  (approx yob 1849)    to Elizabeth Graham  in Whitehaven  in 1870, both from Cleator Moor,  and his father is shown as Peter Dougherty, occ Coal Miner. 

an 1861 census for Threapwaite Road, Cleator,  has a Peter c1821 b Whitehaven
                                                                            Sarah c1827 b Whitehaven
                                                                            James c 1847 b Whitehaven, plus four other children.

1871   census for Bowthorn Road, Cleator,   as Dockerty,   has same family with Peter  c1819  b.Whitehaven
 Sarah c 1831 b. Ireland.

1881 Peter  Docherty  is widowed aged 60.

any pointers appreciated.
thanks.
Annie.

thanks Jackie,     its a possibility!

James' marriage cert doesn't help as far as  a sibling being a witness,    as they were James Kennedy/Mary Belford, so no clue there that i could match up on Census.         working blind here as my friend  knows very little about her husband's family, only that James married Elizabeth Graham, hence the info from marriage cert of his father, but that was it, nothing about the mother, but your information could well be correct.     will pass it on.   much appreciated.
