Son wants to see his mother's face just 'once in his life' Donegal's help sought to find a photograph of Eileen Doherty Reporter: '); '); A Donegal emigrant who has just celebrated his 80th birthday is seeking help tracking down a photograph of his deceased mother. Michael John Docherty, who now lives in Preston in Lancashire in England, was born in Inishowen in Carndonagh on March 24, 1941. The family's name was originally spelled 'Doherty', which changed to 'Docherty' many years later. Michael has never seen a photograph of his mother who sadly passed away when he was very young. Michael's daughter, Tammy, said he was now “desperate to see his mother's face just once in his life”.
