Good evening
Returning to this thread after a few years.I have found out a few things since and thought it better to add to this rather than start a new thread.
The following is an rough extract from Margaret Docherty's (nee Limerick) Poorhouse record from Glasgow 1878.
(Margaret Limerick or Docherty is aged 60 years,born in Ireland,Co Londonderry,3 miles from Derry town at Loch Enoch.Roman Catholic,daughter of Robert Limerick,shoemaker and Annie Broadly both dead.
Husband Charles Docherty died 21 years ago.Died in Inneshewan Ireland.Was born in Derry,Ireland and was a blacksmith )
It was originally thought that Margaret's mother was Catherine as this was what was on her death cert It now seems to be Annie and the surname probably Bradley.
I also now know that the Sally Limerick mentioned earlier was Margaret's sister as she was with her on the 1861 Glasgow census.Sally was on the Griffith's Valuation at Redcastle,Inishowen also.I got a death cert for a Sally Limerick,spinster died 1884 at Glenderine/Glenderowen.I'm pretty sure it's her.Age fits and it's the only Sally Limerick I have come across.
I came across a Robert Limerick on the 1831 census list at Enagh,Clondermot,Tirkeeran.I am hoping that this is her father but as Kingskerswell said in a prevoius post it only lists male or females not names
I also got From Family Search a Robert who died in 1867 ages 67 but it's trying to connect the two
I was wondering if someone could maybe tell me what church would have been the local one for Enagh?I was hoping to try and find out where Robert might be buried or if there is any surviving records of his death or even his marriage to Annie (Broadly/Bradley).
I know that several of you have helped me out with this extensively previously and listed a lot of Limericks but any help to try and put me in the right direction would be really appreciated
Sorry for the long post!
Annette
