Born: Sept. 16, 1895, Lawrence, Mass. (no records) Parents names: Andrew Doyle & Fannie Blakely (no info on them at all) May have had a sister Shannon and brother George killed in a car accident? Maybe a sister was married to a John Hessler of Woburn, Mass about 1937? Died: June 28, 1941, Bristol, CT Found dead in a closet. S.S.# 040-01-6574 May have served in the Army from 1914-1919 (no records) Cannot find any information on this person until June 1928 when he married my grandmother Loretta Mae Donovan of Terryville, CT. They had five children, Evelyn, Frank, Mary, Billy and Larry. Throughout their marriage Loretta never met any of Franks family members. On March 28th 1938 the three older children were placed in state custody due to drinking and violence in the home, the two younger boys were placed in foster care. Worked as an Elevator operator at New Departure Mfg. CO., In Bristol, CT. Have been researching this person since early 1970's and always a dead end. Any information would be helpful. Thanks, Karen ô¿ô
