got access to the ORIGINAL CENSUS not the LDS one.....the Catherine Dougherty belonged to the family next door...Alex and Mary Taylor and their 2 kids.

proved it by getting the b/cert for the taylor daughter, mother mary dougherty..confirmed it by marriage cert for her parents......charles and Cathrine Dougherty!
