Re: Dougherty
In Response To: Dougherty ()

Thank you for that. It looks like we have a link. My research on the Docs is not thorough (as yet), but the William Dougherty and Margaret Kneen are at the top of my tree as far as I am reasonably certain (names and dates fit, although I have not yet checked wills). Further back, I have to get to the real work. My husband's family are direct descendants of your Margaret's sibling Simon. Simon was a joiner by trade. I have 8 children to William and Margaret. Simon married Mary Clarke, and I was interested to see Frances Coakley's reference to Clarkes on the island. Presumably ours was one of them. But that is another road to go down. It looks as if my husband's family is more Manx than I have given him credit for! S.
