Dohertys from Legnahoory

I'm looking death and buriel information for Dominick and Margaret Doherty of Legnahoory.  Dominick was a farmer/grocer and had the general store in the late 1800's.  I'm also looking for information on Dominick's mother and father, Sarah (McHugh) and Neil.  

Thank you,

Finding records in Co. Donegal before 1864 when civil registration began is very difficult. I searched on the subscription site Roots Ireland and did not find a baptismal record for Dominick. The marriage record for Neal and Sara would also not be available. I was able to locate the 1882 civil marriage record for Dominick and Margaret McElwaine plus the 1903 (Margaret) and 1905 (Dominick) death records.

I did find Sarah and Rose in the 1911 census  http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Donegal/Edenacarnan/Le…;  Likely other children may be in other households.
