Donehey/Donohey on the whole site. Surely there have to be more than just this one. My ggggrandmother's name was Mary Donohey/Donehey as per an 1862 marriage certificate I got off Scotlandspeople. I had someone else check the image for me and they agreed on the spelling. Since the son that got married was born in Ireland, I am assuming that she was born there too. But I have yet to see this name anywhere else. Any suggestions what mis-spellings I could check under? Margaret

Thank you - I will try these and see what I come up with. Anyone want to have a look at the image and tell me what they see? I'm off now - the young one has a guitar lesson - I'll be back in a few hours. Margaret
