John James DOOGAN - Burtonport

[MarkSmith]

Hi

Me again.

Looking to find information on JOHN JAMES DOOGAN

I know he married Mary Gallagher in Burtonport co. Donegal 03/09/1955

His father's name may be John Doogan.

They lived in Perth Scotland.

If anyone can point me in the direction of finding birth / parents details for John Jame Doogan, I am hitting a brick wall.

I have all the records from Scotland on his children, it's just the Irish connection I can't find.

Mny thanks

Mark J SMITH

Do you know year he was born or when he died?

There is a 2007 death registered in Perth on SP for a person with that name age 88 mmn Gallagher

[Ladyhawk]

There is this 1919 birth mmn Gallagher but father named Charles

This may relate

If you don’t have it obtaining the 1955 marriage certificate to confirm his fathers name occupation

Added

there’s this possible 1916 marriage Charles Duggan to Bridget Gallagher

Connecting to Ladyhawk's possible couple of Charles Doogan and Bridget Gallagher is this family tree on Family Search https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/LV8Q-CL2/charles-doogan-1883-1978

John James not included but there is a gap for him in birth years for their children.

Looking at SP, there are 3 Doogan/Gallagher deaths recorded at around the same time in Perth:

Patrick Joseph, age 77, 2006
John James, age 88, 2007
James, age 84, 2008

Patrick Joseph from above is included on the Family Search tree and is showing as having died on 23 August 2006 in Perth.

Similarly, James above seems to be also included on this tree and is showing there as having died in Perth on 1 January 2006.

As Ladyhawk has mentioned, his marriage would help you to confirm his father's name or his Scottish death cert would let you confirm names for both parents.
