Margaret, The LDS microfilm reel numbers for the original Boyle parish registers are: 0989743, 1793-1864; 0989744, 1864-1881. I recently examined these, and they cover people from several townlands in the Boyle area. Good luck.

Please, if you find out what happened to the records I am sure many of us would be interested. You mention that the mormons transcribed them - would you know the file reference? I am still trying to track records from 1780 to 1840s for Boyle and surround - sharkey/noone/riley and not coming up with anything though I know Michael Sharkey (son of John was born in 1828 ish time around Boyle area. Many thanks Margaret
