Re: Thomas Dooley born Ireland 1917

thanks for that ladylinda nothing to do with my family. just a coincidence in this case. thanks again.
 
Not sure this is the same tom dooley but my grandad same name married a julia gough they lived on manor road stechford for sometime before his passing in 1970
 
Surely this can't be the Tom Dooley in the old Lonnie Donegan hit - he was hanged.
