Peg, Thanks for your information. As you can see the Byrne/Foley/Doyle families are very much intertwined-hence my search is very slow going. I believe the marriage record you have of John Doyle and Bridget Byrne matches my line. I have the following information from their tombstone: John Doyle d: 13 Nov 1872, aged 60yrs. Native of Co. Wicklow, IRL, Vet Gar 1861-1865 Bridget, wife of J Doyle d: 20 Mar 1885, aged 78 yrs John Doyle d: 20 Sep 1897, aged 53yrs, son of J & B Doyle. This grave is located in Truman, Lafayette County, Wisconsin. Is this a line that you are researching? I would be happy to share my information with you. Cara, I have been going back through the archives in search of these names but as of yet have not found much of a match. I know at one time you mentioned that you may have some information that was rather unpleasant regarding the Byrne family line. Would you be willing to share that information? Ellen, My Hugh Byrne came to Wisconsin with his brother, Patrick and their mother, Bridget as well as her 2nd husband, John Doyle. I believe they arrived at New York and came directly to Wisconsin. Hugh Byrne is definetly a name in my line, but yours doesn't seem to match, at least not at this time.
