Andrew baptised 15 May 1864 and Ellen baptised 17 Feb 1867 both Kircubbin, Ards Peninsula, Co Down, both the children of Thomas and Margaret Dorrian. Can't locate a marriage record for Thomas and Margaret, unfortunately. Andrew was actually born on 8th May and the address was recorded as Kirkistown (location of an Irish racing circuit). Can't locate a civil birth record for Ellen.
Place of migration
Migrated to/Born in USA
Andy Dougherty was my great-grandmother Ellen Dougherty's brother. He emigrated to Youngstown, Ohio, USA around 1887.
Few details are known. He is rumored to have worked on a horse farm, and also in a steel mill. It is also rumored that he traveled back and forth to Ireland several times and that he continued to correspond with a family by the name of "Brown". Family lore says he came from Belfast. We suspect he was born in County Down.
Alternate spellings include Daugherty, Doherty, and Dogherty.
