I am looking for information about the following Boyle family that ended up in Michigan. Descendants of Thomas BOYLE - 5 Dec 1998 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- FIRST GENERATION 1. Thomas BOYLE was born in May 1854 in Ireland.1,2 He died after 1900. The 1900 Federal Census for Spring Lake Township, Ottawa County, Michigan shows the family of Thomas and Nora Boyle and their family of 8 sons. The census states that Nora is the mother of 10 children, 9 of whom are living. Because the oldest child in the home in this census is 24 years old and was born 2 years after the marriage in 1873, it is possible that the first born child is no longer living in the home. It is not known the name or sex of the child that has died at the time of this census. This census states that Nora, wife of Thomas, was born in Pennsylvania. The census also shows that Thomas had been a resident of the United States for 28 years and was a naturalized citizen. This tells us that his probable date of immigration was 1872. Because the census also states that Thomas and Nora had been married for 27 years, we have a probable marriage date of 1873. The Spring Lake Cemetery in Ottawa County, Michigan lists the following burials for the BOYLE name: Baby d April 18,1902 - Baby d April 11,1884 Charles March 8, 1883- May 11,1902 - this is obviously "Charley" child of Thomas and Nora Bertha July 20,1871-March 04, 1903 John, P. October 30,1875-January 18, 1907 The 1920 Illinois Census states that Thomas, father of Edward, was born in Ireland. As Edward is listed as having been born in Michigan in 1890, immigration must have taken place before that date. Because Nora, Thomas' wife is listed as having been born in Indiana, marriage probably took place there. He was married to Nora MELVIN. Nora MELVIN was born in May 1856 in Pennsylvania.3,4 She died after 1900. Thomas BOYLE and Nora MELVIN had the following children: 2 i. Michael BOYLE was born in Nov 1875 in Michigan.5 He was born in Nov 1875 in Michigan.6 3 ii. Joseph BOYLE was born in Jan 1877 in Michigan.5 He was born in Jan 1877 in Michigan.4 He was born in Jan 1877 in Michigan.6 4 iii. Thomas BOYLE was born in Sep 1880 in Michigan.5 He was born in Sep 1880 in Michigan.6 5 iv. Charley BOYLE was born on 8 Mar 1883 in Michigan.6 He died on 11 May 1902 in Spring Lake, Ottawa Co., Michigan. 6 v. Frank BOYLE was born in Jul 1885 in Michigan.5 He was born in Jul 1885 in Michigan.6 7 vi. George BOYLE was born in Oct 1887 in Michigan. He was born in Oct 1887 in Michigan. He was born in Oct 1887 in Michigan. +8 vii. Edward Melvin BOYLE. 9 viii. James BOYLE was born in Apr 1892 in Michigan.5 He was born in Apr 1892 in Michigan.6 SECOND GENERATION 8. Edward Melvin BOYLE was born on 6 Jan 1890 in Michigan.7,5 Edward was probably born in Spring Lake, Ottawa Co., Michigan. He died on 12 Feb 1973 in Mt. Carmel Hospital - Detroit, Wayne Co., Michigan.7 Per the Detroit Death index, Edward M. Boyle died 2-12-73, at age 82, in the city of Detroit. His address was listed as 16846 Suderland, Detroit, Michigan. The Social Security Death Index lists: EDWARD BOYLE Born: 6 Jan 1890 Died: Feb 1973 Last Known Address: 48219 (Detroit, Wayne, MI) 373-01-6004 Issued in Michigan Before 1951 Grandchildren believe Edward may have been born in either Grand Haven, Michigan or Grand Blanc, Michigan. While traveling across the border with him to his cabin in Canada, grandson Edward remembers him reporting his place of birth as either Grand Haven or possibly Grand Blanc, Michigan. The 1900 Federal Census for the family with Edward as a 10 year old child was found in Spring Lake Township, Ottawa Co., Michigan. Spring Lake Township includes the town of Grand Haven, thus a probable birth place for Edward. The 1920 Illinois Census lists Edward Boyle as head of household, who was 29 years old, born in Michigan married, his father born in Ireland and his mother born in Illinois. Listed as his wife is "Salla", age 27, born in Indiana and whose parents were born in Indiana, daughter Irena age 5, born in Indiana, going to school, daughter Virginia, age 4, born in Indiana and daughter, Lucille, age 1 born in Illinois. The 1935 Detroit City Directory lists Edward M. and Sarh M. Boyle, Irene M. and Virginia at 3751 Northwestern Avenue in Detroit. Per the Detroit Death index, Edward M. Boyle died 2-12-73, at age 82, in the city of Detroit. His address was listed as 16846 Suderland, Detroit, Michigan. Edward's immediate cause of death was pneumonia although heart disease was a contributing medical condition. Per the Detroit Death index, Edward M. Boyle died 2-12-73, at age 82, in the city of Detroit. His address was listed as 16846 Suderland, Detroit, Michigan. He was married to Sarah Margaret PRICE about 1912. Sarah Margaret PRICE was born about 1893 in Indiana.8,9 She died before 12 Feb 1973. Edward Melvin BOYLE and Sarah Margaret PRICE had the following children: +10 i. Irene BOYLE. 11 ii. Virginia BOYLE was born about 1916 in Indiana.1 Virginia is listed as "Miss Virginia Boyle" in her father's obituary 12 iii. Lucille BOYLE was born about 1919 in Illinois.1 Lucille is listed as "Miss Lucille Boyle" in her father's obituary +13 iv. Edward Francis BOYLE. +14 v. Mary BOYLE. THIRD GENERATION 10. Irene BOYLE was born about 1915 in Indiana.3 She was born about 1915 in Indiana.10 She was married to Harod KUPFER. 13. Edward Francis BOYLE was born on 18 Aug 1920 in Calumet City, Illinois.11,12 He died on 9 Nov 1966 in Botsford General Hospital, Farmington Twp., Wayne Co., Michigan.13 The Social Security Death Index lists: EDWARD BOYLE 18 Aug 1920 Nov 1966 382-18-2735 Issued in Michigan Before 1951 Edward's home address at the time of his death was 17156 Winthrop. An obituary found in The Detroit News, Thursday, 10 Nov 1966 states: BOYLE, Edward F. Nov 9 - Dear father of Barbara, Edward, Larry, Billy and Stephen. Son of Edeard M. Boyle, brother of Mrs. Irene Kupfer, Virginia and Lucille Boyle and Mrs. Mary Gentile. Funeral from Ted C. Sullivan Funeral Home, 12330 W. McNichols Rd Saturday morning at 10:30 and from St. Mary of Redford Church at 11:15. An obituary found the following day in the Detroit News states the same with the addition of "Husband of Joyce"..... Edward's death record states that he was born in Chicago, Illinois. But, a copy of his SS-5, Application for a Social Security Account Number states that he was born in Calumet City, Illinois. Because the infoormation from the SS-5 was actually provided by Edward himself, it is probably more accurate information. Edward died of a myocardial infarction (heart attack). He was apparently dead on arrival at the Botsford General Hospital in Farmington Township. Joyce PILSON (daughter of Will PILSON and Ann) was born on 3 Apr 1924 in England. Edward Francis BOYLE and Joyce PILSON had the following children: 15 i. Edward F. BOYLE. 16 ii. Barbara BOYLE. 17 iii. Larry BOYLE. 18 iv. Billy BOYLE. 19 v. Stephen BOYLE. 14. Mary BOYLE. She was married to James GENTILE.
