My mother's father came to Canada from Ireland

in the 1920's and his name was

Leslie Dougherty. He died of TB in Canada when my mom was a toddler.

She found some relatives and visited them forty years ago. She in her

eighties now and has lost touch. I also visited them along with her and was

fifteen at the time. We flew into Belfast back then and I know some of them

were dairy farmers as we stayed on a farm. I remember it being in Coleraine

County but can't remember much else except I really enjoyed the tea and

goodies. My nephew will be visitng Ireland in August and thought it might

be nice if I could find some names of relatives for him and also any family

history for my mom Joyce Davidson.

  • Hi Joyce,

    I would suggest that you re post your query in the county of Derry and somebody up there may be able to answer your question.

    Have you looked at the irish census? the 1911 should show up your grandfather.
