Hello all Hoping someone out there can help? I recently purchased the marriage certificate of my great grandparents, Henry Hillam and Mary Ellen Doyle. Mary Ellens father is listed as "John Doyle - Coaminer. Deceased". This was in 1903. I am unable to track down John at all! I can't find any mention of him in any of the records. I have tried the Durham records as well as BMD etc. Anyone out there able to find him? I believe that he would have originally come from Ireland - possibly County Cork. Frances
Hi Frances I too am having problems with DOYLE's from the area. I have Michael born Sligo Ireland Feb 29 1860, I know he moved to the Sunderland area but don’t know when, he married Annie MAUGHAN at Hexham 26 Nov 1883 but that is as much as I can be sure of at the moment. Any information or help would be more than welcome.
