Terence Report 21 Mar 2014 11:13

Hi wonder if any one could find a family connection for me?I have a marriage for Catherine McAloon b.c.1905,to Charles Thornton,b.c.1903,at Sunderland in 1924.I'm
led to believe from family members, that one of them has a family connection to my G'Parents,John Donnelly,b.c.1873,Ireland and Mary Ann Doolan,b.c.1872,Leadgate,
Co Durham. Apparently,most likely connection is with the Doolan Family.Any help would be appreciated.

hi terry
there is a tree on ancestry as far as i can see from the tree is that your catherine mcaloon 1903 was the daughter of annie jane hewston & cornelius mcaloon
and annie jane hewston was the daughter of
Owen Heweston & Catherine Doolan so i think that is the connection but no mention of your mary ann doolan
hope this helps
