  • Good Afternoon!

    I believe this information pertains to your Owen Doherty:

    Owen Doherty, born 1 May 1885, at Magheranall, District of Clonmany, Union of Inishowen, in County Donegal.  Parents:  Owen Doherty (Farmer) and Hannah McCool of Magheranall.  Informant was his father on 3 May 1885.  Registrar was B. Farren (Assistant).

    The above info can be found at:  1976057.pdf (irishgenealogy.ie) (https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_retur…)

    The 1901 Census of Ireland shows Owen Doherty (b 1885) living with his father and siblings in Magheranual (Ballyliffin), as follows:

    Doherty Owen, age 60, Widower

                    Bernard, age 18, Son

                    Fanny, age 15, Daughter

                    Owen, age 14, Son

                    Mary, age 13, Daughter

                    Patrick, age 12, Son

                    Michael, age 11, Son

                    Ellen, age 10, Daughter

                    Charles, age 9, Son

                    John, age 8, Son

    The above can be reviewed at:  National Archives: Census of Ireland 1911  (http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Donegal/Ballyliffin/Magheranual/1183398/)

    If this is your Owen Doherty, I might possibly be able to connect you with a cousin who may be able to give you additional info.

    Regards,

  • Hello again!

    I just found this as well:

    Owen Doherty married Susan McAlaney (likely misspelled) on 30 Aug 1914 in the Church of St. Mary's of Clonmany.  Owen and Susan were both from Isle of Doagh.  Owen's father is listed as Owen Doherty (Farmer) and Susan's father is listed as Peter McAlaney.  Witnesses were Matthew Wilson and Grace McEleney.

    The above marriage info can be found at:  5579373.pdf(irishgenealogy.ie)  (https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_re…)
