Andrew and Anne Doragh,Gortin
« on: Saturday 03 June 23 19:41 BST (UK) »
Hi All
I am researching the Doragh family from Lenamore,Gortin. Andrew and wife Anne reside in Lenamore Gortin as listed in the 1901 and 1911 census.According to returns are Presbyterians ,are aged Andrew 75 and Anne 76 and were married 1857. They had 5 children, 4 still alive in 1911.I have established that 2 daughters were Sarah and Eliza Jane. Looking for help establishing the rest of the family.
I think the nearest Presbyterian church to the townland of Lenamore would be possibly Gortin Presbyterian. I found a marriage of an Andrew Doragh and Anne Glass on 14 August 1856 in 2nd Ballinahatty Pres, No proof that this is the same family as this is Omagh district.
Eliza Jane married Claudious Knox and Sarah,s married name was Gailey,this all according to census returns.
My initial research started with John Doragh marrying Matilda Glasgow in 3rd Presbyterian Church in Cookstown.John,s father was Andrew. Two children Willian John and Sarah were born at Alaska St Belfast but Father died 12 Nov 1901. Trying to link these families. PS Doragh and Darragh  used
Many thanks

John Dorough born 15.1.1868 registered in Gortin:

Sarah Gailey’s husband appears to have been John Gailey. They had a child die in Lenamore on 3rd Nov 1900.

Child’s birth here. Father is recorded as being in Philadelphia (presumably the USA).:

Sarah,s married name was Gailey.

A bit of a detour, but it seems that Sarah actually married in Philadelphia?

There is a marriage that took place on the 24th April 1900 between a Sarah M Darrah, a 32-year-old spinster, born in Ireland, and a John Gailey, a 35-year-old stone mason, also born in Ireland, whose wife died 6 years previously:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-XXD9-7SC?i=217

This looks like their 1900 census entry, but now she is Sarah A, not M:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-68JS-CJL?i=6

Says she immigrated in 1886 and gives a birth date of June 1867.

It appears that John sadly died on 25th August 1900:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VKZN-5XP

Sarah must have returned home, as she gave birth to their son on 3rd November 1900 in Lenamore (as Elwyn has already stated).

The baby died after only a few minutes. Such a sad story. Strange that it is not mentioned that the father is deceased on any of the registrations.

In theory, there should be a birth registration for Sarah, but it is not immediately obvious.

Just to take stock of the children born to Andrew Dorrough (inc. variant spellings) and Anne Glass, Elwyn has already provided links to the civil birth registrations for the sons Robert James (1864) and John (1868), I can also see transcripts of 'Ballynahatty' baptisms for daughters to this named couple: Mary Dorrough in 1857; Eliza Jane Dorrough in 1860; and Sarah Anne Dorrough in 1862.

First of all many thanks to you all for your valuable information.
Following up on Mary,I found she Emigrated to America and I found her marriage to Charles
Wilson in Wisconsin on 19 Aug 1885.Interesting thing Robert Doragh was a witness.
Found plenty of followup for Mary and family,but in trying to trace anything for Robert,I came up against a Robert Doragh,aged about the same  and parents RobertDoragh and Jane Love married in Ballynahatty Church., Possible Relations and was this Robert the witness or was it her own brother?
Sorry I have not the knowledge to post links for information found,but all this was on Ancestry.
Maybe some kind person will p.m  me how to show links and extracts,never too old to learn at 80+
Thanks again
