Is anyone familiar with Patrick Dougherty/Doherty (b. abt 1812) who married Judy "Julie" Gleason (b. Abt 1812) they had the following children before they immigrated to Canada in 1844-45. Honora b. 1831m. Daniel O'Keefe, Michael b.1833, m. Winifred Cain, Mary b.1839, m. Patrick Hogan, John b. 1841, m. Ellen Bennett, Julia "Judy" b. abt 1844, m. William Troy. All of Patrick & Judy's children were married in Biddulph, Middlesex Co., Ontario, Canada.

Parish records from the Tipperary North History Research Service confirm all the births except Honora who was born before the records commence. There is no record of Patrick & Judy's marriage. Research indicates that Patrick died in Lucan, Ontario, Canada in the mid 1860's and that Judy died about 1869. It is recorded that their son Michael migrated south to Dubuque, IA in 1870 after Judy's death.

(Baptismal sponsors for Patrick & Judy's children recorded at the RC Parish in Cloughjordan were; John Kelly, Margaret White, Tom Quigley, Judy Kelly, Denis Dohrty, W. Carroll, John Neill and Elenore Tierney; 1833 through 1844)

I am trying to connect with either Patrick or Judy's family lines. I have absolutly nothing on the Gleeson/Gleason line. I have seen several of the Gleesons in the Biddulph/Lucan area but have not been able to connect them. There were many Tipperary families in the area, many from Nenagh.

I have strong research on Patrick & Judy's children, but nothing on Patrick's parents and above, nor anything on Judy's family in any direction.
