Hi i have just joined Roots. I only have my grandfathers death year as 1971. He was Bernard Doherty, nickname Stout, married to Madge Doherty, son Patrick Doherty died 2007 and daughter Rita (Margaret Doherty) my mother died 1997. The nearest name i can pinpoint their address to is Foffanagh.

Just wondering if anyone did eventually find a list of Doherty Nick Names. I've been Googling and have reached a dead end

There was a Bernard Doherty from Foffenagh (father Patrick) that married a Madge Doherty (father Hugh)  from Connagh Kinnego in 1933 at Buncrana Parish.

Here's a link to the record page. Hope it works.

Bernard could be the son of Patrick Doherty and Catherine Hegarty seen in the 1901 census in house 24.

There is a Facebook group called South Inishowen Family History that covers the area of Donegal that you are researching. If you have had your DNA done they have a Gedmatch Project where you can compare your DNA with others from the same area.

In fact that Bernard had a sister Catherine aka Cassie who married a James Grant who is my 3rd cousin 1xs removed. My mum's family is from Foffenagh and Meenamullaghan. Lots of intermarrige in the Illies area.
