Thank you to all that helped with this mystery! I agree with everyone that it is probably Knockaturly. His name was Bernard Coyle - I'm sure a very commone name there! His final resting place is in Iowa U.S.A., so he came a long way from Co. Monaghan. I'm not really sure what to do next, so any tips/help would be much welcome! Thanks again, Audrey (in Iowa)> > I wonder if it could be Knockaturley?

Although I don't know the timeframe you're researching, there is a Terence Coyle listed in the Griffiths Valuation (1848-1864) in Knockaturly, in the Parish of Monaghan.

Thanks for the look-up on the Coyle name! My Coyle was born in 1807, Knockaturly. He came to the USA in 1831, at least before the big Potato Famine. His name was Bernard Coyle and I think he may have had a brother named Michael J. Coyle. I am under the impression that Knockaturly does not have good crop-growing soil. Am I correct? My Coyle ancestor, from Knockaturly, kept moving around the USA until he found Iowa, where he became a very good farmer. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Claire McConville Sent: Friday, February 01, 2008 6:34 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [IRL-MONAGHAN] ?Knockburly - Knockaturly Although I don't know the timeframe you're researching, there is a Terence Coyle listed in the Griffiths Valuation (1848-1864) in Knockaturly, in the Parish of Monaghan.
