I know very little about my wife's Boyle line. John C. Boyle was born about 1842 in Randolph, MA. He had a brother William T. Boyle who was born around 1839 in MA. John C. Boyle married Margaret Farley around 1867. She was born around 1845 in Ireland, but I don't know where. John C. and Margaret had had at least six children: John T. (b. 1867, Mass), Michael F. (b. 1869, Randolph, Mass), Joseph (b. 1872, Mass), Catherine (b. 1874), Rosanna F. (b. 1876), and William (b. 1879). Michael F. Boyle married Ellen T. Callahan (b. 1873, Weymouth, MA) and they had a single child, Joseph Francis Boyle, b. 1904 in Randolph, MA. Joseph Francis Boyle married Alma Ross and they had a single child as well: Joseph Francis Boyle, Jr. I would love to flesh out all of these lines, especially the Boyles. From census reconds, most of the Boyles for a long time were shoe and bootmakers in Randolph, which had a number of shoe factories. I would especially like to find where in Ireland they hailed from. Any help is appreciated. --SCott ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scott Dickson [email protected] Sun Microsystems (770) 360-6442 Systems Engineer, Atlanta, GA
