Ontario, Irish, Roman Catholic, foreman, railroad Boyle, Mary, Wife, married, b. 17 May 1856, age 44, b. Ontario Boyle, John, Son, single, b. 12 February 1883, age 17, b. Ontario Boyle, Thomas, Son, single, b. 18 January 1886, age 14, b. Ontario Dale, William, Son, single, b. 17 December 1893, age 7, b. Ontario, Scotch, Methodist Dale, Angus, Son, single, b. 30 September 1897, age 3, b. Ontario The only birth registration I could find was for John Boyle Jr. on 12 February 1884 in Mount Forest, Wellington County, the son of John Boyle, railroad contractor & Bridget Clarke, which confirms the second marriage theory. Unfortunately, I cannot find a marriage entry for John and Mary; given that they were Catholic, they often did not bother with civil registration since they had been married in the Catholic Church.
