My Grandfather Erastus James Doherty
Erastus James Doherty, b. 18 Dec 1869 in West Glassville and lived in Fielding,Carleton Co. NB Canada d. 9 June 1945 in Royalton, Carleton Co., berried in Fielding, m. 27 June 1897 in Bridgewater, Maine

Claude
William, b 1900 West Glassville, Carleton Co., NB Canada
Alfred (Uncle Pat) b. 14 Jan 1903, Limestone Maine (I thought this name was Albert)
Pat was his nickname which came from his Uncle Patrick on the Bell side of the family
Henry Thomas Doherty (Dad) b. 20 April 1906 Limestone Maine
Orland
Kathleen (Married a Curtis of Mars Hill Maine).
After my grandmother died in 1920 my grandfather married Kate Brooker, a divorce. They were married 21 Dec 1920. Kate (Kathleem) was born 26 April and died 13 November 1950. Several of the Doherty boys married the Brooker girls as stated in a news paper article.
Any help solving the mystery of my fathers family will be greatly appreciated and hopefully someone will find something of use in this post.
