Hi, does anyone have any connection with the Harkins or Doherty from Altashane Clonmany. My fathers parents were from there.,

It helps to post the details that you already know, especially since Doherty is probably one of the most common surnames in Donegal.

Hi Annie, I am new to roots chat and cannot seem to reply to your message, my grandfather James Harkin married a Sarah Doherty they lived in Altashane, Clonmany, James Father was patrick who married a Margaret Davenport, Patricks Father was James who married Bridget Quiqley.

Strangely enough there's a marriage for James Harkin on the same date but bride listed as Bridget Tuighy:

Interesting Quigley is a local name. Maybe a mistranscription on Family search - mine is from parish records.
