Dominick DOHERTY, Coastguard, Bunbeg

[shanew147]

found the next record - for him

Ref.: ADM175/19 / Pg. 227/472
Station: Rathmullen (Derry district)
Date of Appointment to the Station :  22 May 51
From whence Nominated, or Station removed from : M...broy [??]
Name :  Dominick Doherty
Quality:    Comm. Boatm.
Removed or Absconded :  Removed
Date of Discharge or Removal : 22 Nov 1854
Station Removed to : Guidore
Remarks : this is difficult to read but believe it says ''Intimacy with inhabitants" This is a fairly common reason for transfers.

I'll try to decipher the 'from' station (see extract below) and see if I can work back further...

That looks like Mulroy (Mulroy Bay is is near Milford)

Dominick Doherty's last posting was Bunbeg - it was unlikely that he came from there.

thx derrylass  It is Mulroy....

Ref.: ADM175/19 / Pg. 320/472
Station: Mulroy (Derry district)
Date of Appointment to the Station :  19 Sep 1846
From whence Nominated, or Station removed from : OldHead [Kinsale ?]

Quality:    Comm. Boatm.

Date of Discharge or Removal : 22 Mar 1851

many of the Coastguards I've researched seem to end up settling down on an area that they were posted to - sometimes this is where they signed on, and a couple of times to the area they were born... but no definite pattern that I've seen

Hi  all.

Agnes, I'm glad you're getting somewhere.

Thank you for those, Shane.  I've taken off son north of England recrds, but at the rate they came off, I would have had to wait until the crack of dawn or some such time to download more.  they're a great resource,

Interestingly, you've said what I was beginning to think from the data.  They were moved pretty often.  I wouldn't have thought of the "Getting Intimate with the Locals", bit though.  You evidently know more about it than me!

Good luck with the rest of the quest Agnes!

Best wishes

Emms

I am temp. stuck at the moment - he's not listed at the Old Head / Kinsale station in ADM175/19  or the previous volume ADM175/18

I will have to have a think about this.... will get back to you..

found him again... there were two Stations named Old Head, the one in Kinsale and other (which was closed around this time) in the Westport, Co. Mayo District :

Ref.: ADM175/19 / Pg. 237/472
Station: OldHead / Pigeon Point (Westport district)
Date of Appointment to the Station :  20 Jun 1840
From whence Nominated, or Station removed from : Lepe [?]
Name :  Dominick Dogherty
Quality:    Comm. Boatm.
Removed or Absconded :  Removed
Date of Discharge or Removal : 19 Sep 1846
Station Removed to : Melroy
Remarks : per request

I think the station removed from states 'Lepe' (see screenshot below) - that does not exist as a Station in Ireland. Maybe he served in England for a while ?

edit : it llooks like there was a CG station in Lepe, Hampshire, it's on the 'mainland' opposite Cowes on the Isle of White.

and with these two I believe we are at the beginning of his coastguard service :

Ref.: ADM175/006 / Pg. 328/779
Station: Lepe, port of Southhampton, district Lyminton
Date of Appointment to the Station :  14 Jan 39
From whence Nominated, or Station removed from : Portland
Name :  Domk. Dogherty
Quality:    Comm. Boatm.
Removed or Absconded :  Removed
Date of Discharge or Removal : 20 Jun 1840
Station Removed to : Old Head
Remarks : (no reason given)

Ref.: ADM175/006 / Pg. 371/779
Station: Portland, port of Weymouth, district Weymouth
Date of Appointment to the Station :  16 Aug 32
From whence Nominated, or Station removed from : Portland
Name :  Dom. Doherty
Quality:    Comm. Boatm.
Removed or Absconded :  Removed
Date of Discharge or Removal : 14 Jan 1839
Station Removed to : Lepe
Remarks : (no reason given)

It looks from the Portland record that he signed on there as the from Station is the same as the location.  Unfortunately was was transferred to Old head less than a year before the 1841 census - which might have been able to give you some clues.

....The only info i have on Dominick Doherty  is that he  was a coastguard  and  lived in Bunbeg Co Donegal .  His wifes name was Charlotte Dyer their son George born Donegal abt 1843 ..

Although the Bunbeg/Donegal facts seem to work, It looks like Dominick was posted in Co. Mayo between 1840 and 1846 .. so not sure how the birth of George fits in...

I am so grateful to you for all that research. I cannot thank you enough. Buncrana  is the name above Mulroy Bay on the record 22 May 1851 . Buncrana is not far from Clonmany.I am only going by the  date of Georges birth  1843 on the  1881 Census records for Fleetwood/Lancashire.

sorry ..hope I didn't mislead you with that .. it's three locations shown in the screenshot, for three different people, the one marked in red is the place that relates to Dominick. The other two are for the coastguards listed before and after him for comparison.

Even so, Mulroy Bay is not that far from Buncrana.. if you cross lough Swilly in a boat!
