He was born in Manchester and lived all his life in Manchester. Several addresses.
1891 3 Cohen Street,
1901 Dickens Street,
1907 he died at what was probably his home address of 26 Werneth Street.
I have looked through the names of Dugguns and other names that could have been mistaken for Dougan. Thanks for all the interest so far.
The Slater directory for Manchester show he had a Hairdressers shop at 43 Dale Street Manchester from 1879 to 86 though was also living at 8 Butler Street.
I have no idea why they moved around so much.
Does the marriage cert give his father's occupation?
