Looking for information on Michael Doyle. He is my Great-Great grandfather. All our USA issued death cert of the Doyle's say they were from the New Ross area in Co. Wexford. Ireland.
We think he was born in 1831, Michael siblings where Lawrence (Laurence also spelt Larnes), Bridget, John and Dennis. (I may be missing additional siblings) Michael left Ireland for Quebec in late 1840's or early 1850's. Note from the "missing list" states Michael landed in Quebec 3 years last August. Worked there that fall and left that winter for Buffalo New York and have not been heard from since. Michael was to meet up with his brother Laurence in Pownal Vermont. Michael's nationalization date was 1852.
Michael's siblings all lived around the Springfield, IL area. Most are burried in Ivesdale, Illinois. Michael married Mariah Duffin in 1856 as they lived their remaining life in Chicago Illinois. Larry was murdered by William Malone, a boy who lived across the street from the Doyle's. The arguement was over Malone wanting to date Larry's daughter. Larry forbid it and Malone became angry and hit Larry over the head with a shovel, killing him. This was in 1873 in Blue Mound Township, Illinois.
Mariah/Maria/Mary Duffin was from New Ross, ireland, born around 1834 . Maria's father's name was John Duffin and mother's name was Mary. Mary died on her way to Quebec.
John Duffin lived with Michael and Mariah until he passed away in 1884.
