Hi There, I have also hit a brick wall with my O'Boyle/Boyle ancestors. Maybe someone out there can recognize some of these people. This is one clan I am researching currently: JOHN O'BOYLE was born Abt. 1825 in Ireland, and died April 28, 1903 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. He married CHRISTIANA MCKAY, daughter of ? MCKAY. She was born Abt. 1839 in Ontario, Canada, and died January 24, 1918 Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Children of JOHN O'BOYLE and CHRISTIANA MCKAY are: i. MARY-ANN O'BOYLE, b. February 2, 1858, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada; d. April 1, 1932, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada; m. JOSEPH MCBRIDE, July 20, 1875, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada; b. June 1, 1841, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada; d. August 2, 1901, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. ii. AMELIA O'BOYLE, b. Abt. 1861, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada; d. November 24, 1934, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada @ 73; m. PATRICK JOSEPH MCBRIDE; b. 1861, Desert River, Quebec, Canada; d. March 28, 1934, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada @ 71. iii. THOMAS O'BOYLE, b. Abt. 1865, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada; d. March 6, 1896, Chicago, Illinois, USA. iv. ROSALINDA O'BOYLE, b. 1868, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada; d. 1941; m. PATRICK JOSEPH KENNEDY; b. 1857; d. 1923, Detroit, Michigan, USA? v. JOHN A. O'BOYLE, b. 1869, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada; d. 1945, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada; m. ANN SHANNON, October 8, 1901, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada; b. 1867, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada; d. 1938, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The second group of O'Boyle's I am trying to connect is this one: JOHN1 O'BOYLE was born 1816 in Ireland, and died October 3, 1896 in Quyon & Onslow South, Pontiac, Quebec. He married SARAH CORRIGAN. She was born 1832, and died June 10, 1873 in Quyon & Onslow South, Pontiac, Quebec. Children of JOHN O'BOYLE and SARAH CORRIGAN are: i. SON O'BOYLE ?? MAYBE2 JOHN. ii. DAUGHTER O'BOYLE. iii. PATRICK AUSTIN O'BOYLE, b. Abt. 1867; d. January 6, 1904, Brandon, Manitoba, Canada; m. ROSE LYNN, April 9, 1891, St Patrick's, Ottawa, Ontario; b. Abt. 1866; d. December 10, 1945, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. iv. THOMAS JOSEPH O'BOYLE, b. February 19, 1870. v. DAUGHTER O'BOYLE. And the third set is the Gloucester, Ontario group : Thomas O'BOYLE married Mary CLYNES from County Mayo. We believe that Thomas O'Boyle and his wife came to Canada and had 3 sons maybe more: Thomas O'Boyle -- b. 1820 who became an Oblate Priest ordained in France, died 1866 in Gloucester, Ontario, Canada. He was the first parish priest at St John's Church Michael O'Boyle -- married Anastasia Grace died in New York John O'Boyle -- may have married Julia McGreggor, settled in Gloucester, Ontario, Canada. and died there.
