According to a new discovery, my three-times great-grandmother, Margaret BOYLE, was born in the City of Limerick, around 1839 or 1840, to Frederick BOYLE and Margaret McGUIRE. The family emigrated to Canada during the Potato Famine (date so far unknown), and settled in the Pembroke area of Ontario. She married on 8 May 1860, so she was in Canada some time before that. I have yet to find her parents information as of yet, however Margaret died in 1874, at the age of 34 or 35. If anyone recognizes these names, I'd love to hear more!
