Thanks Janet I appreciate that, but i am related to his wife she was my great great great aunt
I dont know much about the family only that they had 2 sons and both died.
one in his twenties and one in his early fifties.
good luck with your research

The marriage found by Judb and loganH is not the right one that couple had children in Maldon.

On the register the Catherine DORNEY and William DOHERTY Janet is after had children from 1867 - 1876 at Swan Hill .
A big gap between marriage and children ??
Where did you get the information they married 20th January 1859 at Emerald Hill  Janet ? That is a pretty exact date ?

regards
Alison

Hi Alison,

Thanks for your reply.  The date of marriage between William Doherty and Catherine Dorney was recorded on the birth certificates of each of the Doherty children.  William Doherty was also in Victoria Police and the year of marriage was also recorded on his Police Personnel File.  The gap between marriage and children may have been a "medical" issue.

Alison, William Doherty was really very meticulous with his paperwork, the written reports that he sent from Narung Station to Police HQ, were pardon the punt word perfect.

Cheers,

Janet.

Janet,
I can see twelve children born to this couple & there is no gap

Do you have all of them?

The first birth is in 1861 & the last 1876.
I think the problem lies with the surname of their father William
Six of them are registered under the name of William DOLAN & the other six under the name of William DOHERTY
All have the correct mother Catherine DORNEY & are born within the same districts 
Do you still think the 1860 DOLAN & DORNEY marriage is not theirs

Hi,

MY google won't work at the moment, is Swan Hill closse to Maldon? There are two children born in 1868, one at Swan Hill the other at Maldon.
I guess we need to look for a death for a Catherine Dolan, I guess Janett knows where and when Catherine Doherty died.

Hi Merlin,

Thank you for your reply.  I do like your thinking, but sorry to say that the Dolan's and Doherty's are two separate families. 

Catherine Dorney born in Dublin (Parents: Thomas and Mary) married William Dolan in 1860.  Catherine Dolan died in 1872 in Maldon, age 32.  William Dolan died in 1913 in Maldon (Parents: Felix and Matilda), age 79.  Catherine was an "Assisted Passenger" on board the "Castilian" in 1857 and William Dolan was also an "Assisted Passenger" on board the Lady Milton in 1857.

 

That Catherine Dorney and William Dolan had the following children:
William Thomas Dolan b. 1861 Maldon,
Alice Dolan b. 1864 Maldon,
John Edward Dolan   b. 1866 Maldon,
Richard Dolan b. 1868 Maldon,
George Henry Dolan b. 1869 Maldon,
Catherine    Dolan b. 1872 Maldon,

My Catherine Dorney and William Doherty had the following children:
Elizabeth Anne Doherty b. 1867, Swan Hill,
William Thomas Doherty b. 1868, Narung Station,
Mary Augusta Doherty b. 1870, Narung Station,
Catherine Josephine Doherty b. 1873, Kilkyne,
Frances Louise Doherty b. 1874, Kilkyne, and
Edwin Gregory Doherty b. 1876, Kilkyne.

My Catherine Dorney's parents were Thomas Dorney and Eliza Lynch.
William Doherty's parents are not known hence the need for the Dorney/Doherty marriage.  The informant on his death certificate believed that William's father was also a William.

William Dobherty (this is not a spelling error on my behalf) arrived in Melbourne from Liverpool as an Unassisted passenger on board the “Invincible” in December 1857 - his wife to be Catherine Dooney (again not a spelling mistake) was also on board the same ship.

Thank you to both yourself and Alison for trying again on this one.  I really appreciate you taking the time.

Cheers,

Janet.
