I am looking for Samuels Dougherty parents.  I had thought he was my grandmother brother but it ends up he is not.  in the 1911 census i look into my grandmothers family it does not show samuel at all and he would be 9 when this census was taken...Also when Daniel died Hannah took her whole family to the states in the 20s and Samuel was not with them.

Residents of a house 7 in Gracehill Street (Clifton, Antrim)

Dougherty Daniel 41 Male Head of Family Roman Catholic

Dougherty Hannah 39 Female Wife Roman Catholic

Dougherty Mary Ann 14 Female Daughter Roman Catholic

Dougherty James 13 Male Son Roman Catholic

Dougherty Anthony 11 Male Son Roman Catholic

Dougherty Elizabeth 7 Female Daughter Roman Catholic

 

Samuel would not show up in the 1901 census due to it being done in March and Samuel was born on 9/22/1901 but he is found in the 1911 census in Daniels other siblings household as a nephew and in 1901 James was head of the family and in 1911 his son  Peter takes over as head of house hold and i would assume that Peter would not be his father due to him stating he is a nephew

Residents of a house 40 in McCleery Street (Dock Ward, Antrim)

Dougherty Peter 24 Male Head of Family Roman Catholic

Dougherty Jane 47 Female Sister Roman Catholic

Dougherty Mary 29 Female Sister Roman Catholic

Dougherty Catherine 27 Female Sister Roman Catholic

Dougherty Samuel 9 Male Nephew Roman Catholic

......................................................

The 1901 with their Father James  as head of house hold

Dougherty Rosena 21 Female Daughter Roman Catholic

Dougherty Mary 19 Female Daughter Roman Catholic

Dougherty Jane 37 Female Daughter Roman Catholic

Dougherty Cathrine 17 Female Daughter Roman Catholic

Dougherty James 57 Male Head of Family Roman Catholic

Dougherty Peter 14 Male Son Roman Catholic

So the big question of the day would be who is his parents..Rosena, Mary, Jane, or Cathrine.  Any help on this would be great...I'm trying to get any info on this family as much as i can and hope someone can help.

 

Thank you

  • Samuel?s birth is listed in Belfast for 22.9.1901 and the mother?s maiden name is shown as Nichol. You can view the certificate on-line for ?2 on the GRONI site and that should tell you who his parents were. (Though they would seem likely to be Daniel Dougherty and Hannah Nichol who married in Belfast on 1.4.1896). Again that certificate is viewable on-line for ?2.
