John Raymond Doughey

[mickawinn]

The certificate was found in a box with no other associated documents so I don't have any other information. The family don't recognise the names or are aware of any Irish connection. The newspaper quotes sound hopeful, full name and ex RUC as he may have left after the birth of his son. Are there any RUC records available?

We aren't supposed to post details of anyone who might still be alive but I found a possible death 2015 which I'll forward by PM.

Meanwhile-
Francis Charles Donaghey died 1999 Huddersfield district, England (index gives date of birth as 17 Sept.1905).

Thanks for all the help and information. It gives me a few names to follow up to see if I can make any connections.

Hi Chris
Your grandfather’s certificate was found in the document box belonging to the father of a friend of mine when he died. The father’s name was Cyril Arthur Ronald MCCALL. My friend and his mother do not recognise the name at all and asked me to see if I could find a family connection but to date I have been unsuccessful. Does the McCall name mean anything to you. I can give you some other family names if it helps.
Regard
Mick

Hi Mick,

Thanks for the reply. The Birth Certificate image that you shared is actually for John Raymond Donaghey (my Uncle) everyone called him Ray. So Ray Donaghey may ring a bell with your friends Mother? Ray sadly passed in 2015. Some more family names would help. I will ask my Father if he knew Cyril McCall. Ray was born in Derry but then moved along with his family to England. He was in the RAF for some time. Whereabouts does your friends Mum live please?
Best regards,

Chris

Hi Chris
Cyil MCCALL wasn't in the RAF so no connection there. He was born in Willesden and spent most of his life there and Kilburn before retiring to Westgate, Kent. He died in 2009. Iris Mccall still lives there.
A few names to try out, Harvey, Outram, Willson, Willard, Lewis.
Cheers
Mick
