Colleen, Mary Flanagan, born in Birkenhead, married Patrick Doyle in Leeds in 1883 and they moved their family, including my father Vincent, to Philadelphia PA in 1910-11 where other Doyle relations from Ireland were living. I don't know of any relatives in Luzerne county nor any who are from Birkenhead. But I will be happy to do a little research for you and forward anything I find if you will respond off-list.

She did have a brother named Vincent, born 19 May 1897 in Pittston, Luzerne County, PA. Vincent and Regina (my gm)'s father was born in Birkenhead England in 1864 to William and Mary (Dever) Doyle. If any of this sounds familiar, I'd welcome a response.
