Hi Joe!

Grand! You just confirmed the information I found on the IGI as stated in the post#16.

So, it is the same family after all. I suspected that these two Doherty girls were sisters married to the same man.

Well-done as always!!

Kind regards,

Tees

Hi i have just joined this site in order to get in touch, I think i have some info on your majory doherty, I found yourself on the link to Drakemire Street,Saltcoats.  I am researching Patrick McGreavie and Margery Docherty married in 1871. They are my grt,grt,grandmother and grandfather,i do have certificates with the names of Bernard Docherty,Margery Ddocherty m.s. Divine, and a witness of a Margaret Docherty. It would be great if you got in touch to compare notes.

Hi Visasister
That would be great if we could compare and see if we are related,as you are the first person that might be able to shed some light to my family background

[visasister]

Hi Greendor. I think we might be related. I am tracing back the Mcgreavie line and some of the names and places match yours form your listing . Where would you like to start???  patrick mcgreavie married to margery docherty 6th june. 1871 ardrossan, her witness was a margaret docherty,her father on the certificate was bernard docherty (general dealer) her mother on the certificate margery docherty(  maiden name divine) She resided at drakemuir street saltcoats. Does this tie up with anything you have???

[greendoor]

Hi visasister
I think we may be related through  Bernard & Marjory Docherty,have you traced them back or is just the McGreavie line
