SUBJECT: Martin DOYLE -abt 1802 - 1898 IRELAND>CANADA>Chesterfield, Essex County, New York. I am seeking Canadian and Irish information on Martin DOYLE from birth abt 1802 in Ireland and his stay in Canada up to approximately 1840. And any information on his first wife Nancy McCORMICK, born abt 1821 in Ireland, Died Bet 1850-1855 in Northern New York State and on his second wife Catherine McCrea born 1815 in Ireland, died 3 Jan 1906, Westport, Essex County, New York. Martin DOYLE's death certificate indicates his Father was Michael DOYLE born Ireland and his Mother was "Maggie" DOYLE. The US Federal Census of 1850 indicates Martin DOYLE and Nancy McCORMICK had at least three children, James b.abt 1842 in Canada and Timothy b.abt 1840-1844 also born in Canada. Timothy indicates on a naturalization document that he was abt 5 years of age when he came to the USA. Martin and Nancy also had another son, Thomas born 1849 in US who died very young. The US Federal Census also indicates that Martin DOYLE and Catherine McCREA (Martins second wife) had a son named John b.1 Apr 1845 also in Canada and died 8 Mar 1937 in Clinton County New York. I have searched numerous sources in Ireland, Canada, census reports of early Irish Immigrants to Canada, ships lists and steam ship lists on the St Lawrence River for over the past 2-3 years without finding any valid ties to Martin DOYLE and his family while they were in Canada evidently at least 5 years or more. He must have had friends or other relatives in Canada during that time. I am seeking anyone who may have some thread of information regarding his stay in Canada or his trip to Canada or where he and his Father Michael or Mother Maggie lived in Ireland. Thank you all in advance for your kind attention and am looking forward to any help or information you may furnish me with on this subject! Am sending this to a number of places in Canada because I have no clue as to where Martin DOYLE and his family were while in Canada.
