      Descendants of Charles and Sarah Dougherty gathered at Gimmerburn recently for a family reunion.
      Around 150 people, from Auckland to Southland, attended the reunion, including the only living child of Charles and Sarah, Mrs Sarah Tohill who now lives in Wellington.
      Charles Dougherty and Sarah Kearney were married in Saint Eunan's church, Letterkenny, County Donegal in Ireland in 1882 and in the following year they sailed for New Zealand.
      A short stop visit was made to Maryborough in Australia, where their eldest son, Patrick Francis, was born.
      In late July, 1883, the young family arrived in·New Zealand and settled in Oamaru.
      Four brothers and two sisters of Charles had already made the trip to New Zealand, the eldest Patrick having fought in the Maori Wars.
      In 1888, the Dougherty's shifted to Gimmerburn, living in a house belonging to Sarah's uncle, Mr A. Kearney. The property was later bought by Charles' brother, John.
      Shortly after their arrival in Gimmerburn, the Dougherty's were successful in a farm ballot for a 120 acre block of land adjacent to where they were living. This farm was later expanded by the purchasing of a property known as the "coal-pit".
      The farm, situated near the foot of the Garibaldi Gorge, supplied coal to the district, and Charles, in partnership with Mr R. Little, contracted for the county, forming several roads in the area.
      Charles and Sarah had a family of four boys and seven girls, with many of their descendants still living in the Maniototo.
      A family tree, compiled by great-grand daughter, Mrs L. O'Malley of Waiau, North Canterbury, was presented family members at the reunion, while Mrs Tohill cut the cake.
      Caption 1: Through the years the Dougherty family have featured prominently in many New Zealand sports, particularly rugby. Shown here at the reunion celebrations are five descendants who have represented their union, and in some cases New Zealand at rugby. They are (from left), Mr J.M. Stuart (Canterbury), Mr L. Dougherty (North Otago), Mr J.C. Kearney (Otago and All Blacks), Mr P.E. Dougherty (Otago), and Mr R.C. Stuart O.B.E. (Canterbury and captain of the All Blacks 1953-54). Mr K.C. Stuart also represented both Canterbury and the All Blacks, but was unable to attend the reunion because of illness.
      Caption 2: ·The only living member of the family of Charles and Sarah Dougherty is Mrs Sarah Tohill (88), of Wellington, shown here at the family reunion with the two youngest present: Daniel O'Neill (left) of Dunedin and Victoria Rowe of Blenheim.

      Rugby clash…
      THE Dougherty family reunion at Gimmerburn over Easter was a great success, I'm told, with 185 people enjoying a varied weekend of activities including a rugby clash between the Dougherties and an Invitation 15, organised by Ryan Dowling, of Ranfurly. The Dougherty team, resplendent in bright red jerseys especially made for the match, featured 14 grandsons and three great grandsons of family patriarch, 95-year-old Leo Dougherty. The players were aged between 13 and 44 with father and son Larry and Tom Dougherty both taking part.
      …big part of…
      AFTER a "Dougherty Welcome and Haka", the game was played in great spirit and ended in a 5-all draw, with tries apiece to Paul Dougherty and Sean Becker for the Invitation for the opposition. Referees were Paddy Dougherty, of Christchurch (first half), and Harrison Kelly, from Sydney (second half). I understand all participants came through the game without any major injuries "if not a bit sore".
      …family reunion
      THOSE gathered at the reunion honoured the original Dougherty settlers to the area, namely Charles and Sarah, who arrived from Letterkenny, County Donegal, Ireland, in 1887, via Oamaru four years earlier, and raised nine children. Leo, their grandson, who played rugby for North Otago, presented each of the family team members with a miniature silver cup. The Dougherties can claim All Blacks Bob and Kevin Stuart and Jim Kearney among their relations, plus the promising Cantabrian Cameron McEntyre. A family history is being written by historian Patrick O'Neill, formerly of Dunedin now living in Canberra.
