Hello all As I'm new to the list I thought I'd post up the BOYLE branches I'm look into. Centred around Blackhill, Consett, Leadgate then Burnopfield and Marley Hill in DUR, UK Owen BOYLE (also called Nicholas, born about 1836), an Iron Works Labourer, and his wife Ellen (born about 1841) are in the 1881 census at Black Hill, Benfieldside - Tin Mill Street (?). This says both were born in Ireland. I haven't yet been able to get enough information to make the leap back to Ireland. They had 8 children (Pat, Nicholas, James, Owen, John J, Mary, Ellen and Elizabeth) according to the 1881 census, all of whom were born in England (most in Blackhill) The other names so far are ROBSON and WELCH on my father's side, and HINDS and CALLAGHAN on my mother's. Does this path cross the interest of any other BOYLE listers ? Cheers Philip BOYLE
