Hello List, William Boyle was aged 17 in 1844 when he enlisted in the 89th Regiment. He gave his home place as being BALLYMENA. I believe this man married a relative of mine. The marriage took place in Callan, County Kilkenny, in 1852. William was 25 and his young wife, Bridget RYAN, was aged 18. Her home was in Green Street. Fairly soon the 89th Regiment was in the Crimea. William survived and was almost on his way to NZ when unexpected orders diverted the 89th to India. In the course of fighting the rebels during The Mutiny, in an out-of-the-way place in Gujarat, William BOYLE was killed. This was December 1858. William and Bridget Boyle had been married for only six years. I am hoping to find some descendants of this couple. There is every likelihood that Bridget would have accompanied her husband. As a young widow, however, Bridget might have made a home in the area of her husband's home town which I am taking to be Ballymena for the time being. (It is possible that LISBURN might be connected). Is there anybody who might be able to help in finding the children of William Boyle and Bridget Ryan? Who could suggest how I might look further for such children? Can anybody help in finding a Bridget BOYLE who maybe remarried 1859-1885 at which latter date Bridget would have been 50 yrs of age? Does anyone own to being a descendant!!?? Any ideas, input, welcome. Kind regards, Rob in Lincolnshire
