Lois, I noticed the BOYLE name in your reply to 'Carol'. I wondered where in Ireland your Boyles are from. My paternal gggmother's maiden name was Winifred Boyle. She was from Annaghdown RC in Co. Galway. She was probably born sometime around 1800/1810, and was married to my gggfather, Thomas Divily/Divilly/Devilly (now Diviney).

The information is often spotty and disappointing. Good luck, Irish research is tough. I've been doing it for 10 years.
