For plural, use the same convention for proper nouns as you would for any other noun. So:

The Dougherteys like to eat fish.

Typically a noun that ends in "s" gets an "es" at the end for the plural, so:

The Joneses like to eat fish.

It gets trickier when you use the possessive, especially with the possessive and plural together, and the extreme case with a family name that already ends in S with the possessive and plural together. I don't even try to remember what to do in this case. I just google it if I need it. (Try googling "plural possessive proper nouns")
