Surnames: Doyle, McCoy Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/IcT.2ACIB/2004 Message Board Post: I am looking for information on the family of Patrick Doyle who was born in Ballina, County Mayo Ireland in 1812 to Luke and Mary Doyle. Patrick married Elizabeth McCoy and had 8 children (Daniel, Margaret, Ann, Maria, Kate, Elizabeth, William, and Bridget) Patrick and Elizabeth came to the US and settled in Jersey City with some of the children (including my great grandfather Daniel) around the time of the Great Famine. Daniel was baptized at St.James Church in Charleston, County Mayo. Some of the children stayed in the Ballina region. Daniel was a blacksmith by trade. I would appreciate any information on any of the brothers or sisters.
