Dockeary/Docherty/Connolly Dublin

Looking for the Birth Record of William John Dockeary/Dockerty abt.1891 Dublin (Workhouse), and or Thomas Patrick Connolly b. abt.1843 Dublin).

William John's father, John Dockeary/Dockerty/Docherty was born in Carlisle, Cumberland 1869 and enlisted in the 8th Hussars in Dublin 2 Feb 1892. His father John Dockerty/Doharty was born in Carlisle 10 Mar 1844 and if I am right his father John Docherty/Doharty/Dogherty was born in Ireland abt. 1805. William Dockerty/Dockeary married Margaret Connolly b. 20 Sep 1871 (Galashiels) in Galashiels Scotland 12 Nov 1888. They had another son in Galashiels, Thomas Patrick Dockeary on 30 Dec 1892 who was baptized at Our Lady and St. Andrew's in Galashiels. The 1901 & 1911 Edinburgh census have William (John) Dockeary/Dockeray born in Ireland abt 1892. Margaret Connolly's father Thomas Patrick Connolly was born abt. 1843 in Dublin to Thomas Connolly (Master Shoemaker) and Catherine Leachy. (Death Cert. Scotland's People). Thomas Patrick Connolly (Shoemaker) married Margaret Fox as Patrick Connell in Portadown in 1866 (Scotland's People birth registrations) and listed his father as Thomas Connell shoemaker.

I would be grateful for any help.

Hi, I am looking at old queries and I cannot find a birth for your William, may be due to the spellings transcribed do not match what you have, civil births for the period are free online at this site click on civil and workhouses usually were diligent in registering children, church batisms for DUblin are also on this site but not sure all county Dublin parishes are there, https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/

The registration areas for Dublin are North and South, Balrothery (North county Dublin) and Dun Laoire or similar and may include Rathdown which may be used either, this is south county Dublin towards Wicklow.

I have also used a subscription site to no avail I am afraid.

Good Luck

Pat
