James and Margaret Docherty (nee Allan)
(Nov 08
Red)
James and Margaret were married on 1st january, 1883, in the parish of Bonhill, Dumbarton. They resided in Alexandria. James's parents were John and Catherine (nee Coyle) while Margaret's were William and Mary Allan. According to family stories, the Dochertys came from Ireland (Donegal?)in 1840s/1850s. My search has stalled in Alexandria. There are Dochertys on the 1881 census bu no exact matches. both families were Roman Catholic and both fathers were general labourers. Any help would be great!
