CAN YOU HELP AN 80 YEAR OLD DONEGAL MAN SEE HIS MOTHER'S FACE FOR THE FIRST TIME BY HELPING US IDENTIFY HER IN THIS OLD SCHOOL PICTURE?
Inishowen ex-pat Michael John Docherty, who now lives in Preston in Lancashire in England, recently turned 80 and his dearest wish was to see a photograph of his mother Ellen Doherty, who sadly died when he was three years old.
Michael's story has been widely shared by the Inish Times and discussed on the the Today Show by Billy Keane in our Regional Roundup . The Inish Times have now located this picture from C1924 of Drung School in the school in Donegal which Ellen Doherty attended. Ellen would have been 12 or 13 in 1924, so there is a good chance she is in the photograph. Can you help us identify Michael mother Ellen in this picture? Please email any information to [email protected]
(Michael Docherty, was born in Carndonagh on March 24, 1941. The family's name was originally spelled 'Doherty', which changed to 'Docherty' many years later. Ellen's parents were called Cassie (née McGonagle) and Barney Doherty. Ellen lived in Drung and went to St Columba's National School. She was born on October 23, 1911 and passed away around the age of 34 or 36. She was married to Michael John Doherty and they had four children: Irene, Michael, William and the late Bridget. Ellen was buried in Carndonagh Cemetery. Following her death, Ellen's husband remarried and Michael, then aged five, and his siblings were sent to live in Glasgow in Scotland, with relatives.)
