Tyrone / Andrew and Anne Doragh,Gortin
« on: Saturday 03 June 23 19:41 BST (UK)  »
Hi All
I am researching the Doragh family from Lenamore,Gortin. Andrew and wife Anne reside in Lenamore Gortin as listed in the 1901 and 1911 census.According to returns are Presbyterians ,are aged Andrew 75 and Anne 76 and were married 1857. They had 5 children, 4 still alive in 1911.I have established that 2 daughters were Sarah and Eliza Jane. Looking for help establishing the rest of the family.
I think the nearest Presbyterian church to the townland of Lenamore would be possibly Gortin Presbyterian. I found a marriage of an Andrew Doragh and Anne Glass on 14 August 1856 in 2nd Ballinahatty Pres, No proof that this is the same family as this is Omagh district.
Eliza Jane married Claudious Knox and Sarah,s married name was Gailey,this all according to census returns.
My initial research started with John Doragh marrying Matilda Glasgow in 3rd Presbyterian Church in Cookstown.John,s father was Andrew. Two children Willian John and Sarah were born at Alaska St Belfast but Father died 12 Nov 1901. Trying to link these families. PS Doragh and Darragh  used
Many thanks
