Donougher/Bawden & Donougher/Power

[tom mix]

Thanks Blue & Jim again.

Re the 1861 census.
I am happy with the Donaker/Donougher variation. Especially as according to my research,
1841 Marriage Esther Power to Matthew Donaugher Ref. 175 @ St Mary's Liverpool.

I am sure the Christopher you refer to is my g grandfather. In 1880 he marries Letitia Kirby in St Thomas' Litherland/Waterloo, which is actually the church in which I was baptised. His age was 24, therefore born 1856. That's a 2 year variation on Blue's Christopher but well within the realm of possibility.

Funny how the Power name returned to the story.

 And add this to the mix.

1871 Census RG10 3829 44 page 30
Michael Power Head, with William, Michael and Christopher Donoghoe as Nephews in the house. Christopher born 1855. Perhaps this is the link?

Time to re-think.

Hi Alan,

I'd forget about those other 1940s marriages if you're not going to order a record or two it'll just do your head in wondering where they fit in, if at all.

Did this family go back to Ireland and then return to Liverpool? That would explain Irish births after the Liverpool marriage. This record appears to show Christopher being baptised in Liverpool but I can't find a birth index for him. Have you got this?:-

Baptism

Name: Christopher Donagher
Birth Date: 15 Dec 1854
Baptism Date: 7 Jan 1855
Parish: St Augustine RC Liverpool
Father's name: Mathew Donagher
Mother's name: Esther Donagher

Hi again.

I have no proof but it seems logical that the family went back to Ireland and once again returned to Liverpool. No, I didn't have Christopher's baptism. Thanks for that.  They must have returned to England between 15 Dec & 7 Jan. At least mother & Christopher.

Do you know if the Liverpool History Projects site is still being compiled ? It was useful in the past but now seems dormant.

An aside to the search.

I have already stated I am the son of the Joseph Donougher & Alice Bawden marriage in South Sefton or Crosby registers.
Monday 11 May will be the 100th birthday of my father, now deceased for 10 years.

Having migrated to Australia, I am assembling my remaining cousins and we are having a Scouse & rice pudding lunch to celebrate the occasion.
The reason for the Scouse is obvious but the rice pudding comes about because my mother cooked it EVERY Sunday of the year, 52 weeks, and had 52 variations. None of them memorable.

A bit of fun and a step into the past. Now! Back to the search!

Have a great time Alan. LHP has been superseded now really by Ancestry's Liverpool RC records.

According to an online tree the Joseph Donougher (Births Q4 1914 Donougher Joseph, Rogers, West Derby, 8b 855) married Mary Pender in 1937 was the son of John Donougher and Elizabeth Alice Bertha Rogers. John Donougher was the son of William Donougher (brother of your Christopher) and Mary Ann (Martin?).

The William Donougher who married Eileen Power in 1946 is likely the son of Joseph Donougher and Catherine Butchard who married in Liverpool in 1918. Joseph was a son of William and Mary Ann so both these men appear to be grandsons of your Christopher’s brother. Just a guess. To confirm get the certificates.

Best wishes,

My Joseph Donougher, father, was born 1915. His mother was Julia Mahon(e)y. Julia's birth name was Woods. Her mother, Catherine, came from the IOM. There was a Mylchreest in her pedigree as of course there was with 1000's of others.

I am careful as to how much information that I offer, too soon. Hope you understand. Makes people offer their information without a prompt.

Hi Alan,

You should give as much information as possible in these posts as it helps us to help you. I don't know if I've been in touch with you in the past about my Mylchreests or not it rings a bell so maybe we have discussed it before. With you not giving me much information to go on I've had to search online for the link below where you posted about these ancestors. There's no connection to my lot:-
