You can check trees on here by going to search at top of page Amba,

The births of children are easily found on freebmd, as most have middle initials it should be fairly easy to look for any marriages for them, one of the birth certs will give you first names of parents.

If they married in Scotland you will need to look at Scotland' s People site.

Doherty (m. born about 1913, Irish?) Oakes (wife, Scottish?) and eight children born between 1941 and 1955 in Manchester area - names for children (living, I think?) are Brian, Sheelagh, Paul, Peter, Gretchen (could go by another name), Marie, Noeleen, and elder boy unknown - cannot find a record of fathers first name or marriage - he must be well passed by now - I can say he was a GP in the Manchester area however. Any connections at all to this branch of Doherty's much appreciated!!

Especially more information on the Doherty-Oakes marriage as its difficult to go any further back! Or forward, for that matter, as it is when relatives are living...
Kindest thanks,
Amba
