Does anyone have BOYLE in Co. Limerick in the time frame of 1798? My ggggfather, John BOYLE (II) was supposedly born there Jan 6, 1798. His father John BOYLE (I) was taken by a pressgang in 1799 and never seen or heard from again. At that time, John (II) and his mother, Nora McLaughlin, moved to Nenagh, Co. Tipperary to live in her brother's (Fr. McLaughlin) home. In 1822, John BOYLE (II) m. Bridget QUIRK of Toomyvara, Co. Tipperary and in 1825 with 2 sons immigrated to NYC. Bridget QUIRK was the daughter of Daniel Quirk and Molly Hogan. John (II) was the only BOYLE to come as he was the only line living from this particular family. I have located descendents of all John's and Bridget's children who married and had children. There may be cousins and that is why I'm trying to go back beyond this point and would like to contact anyone who seems to have ancestors from this particular area. Bill Boyle
