As far as I know, John Doyle left Wexford when he was a young man of 17 or 18. On the 1910 Federal Census he says he immigrated in 1866 (that would be at the end of our American Civil War). On the 1920 Census, John told the census taker that he was born at Wexford and so were his parents. John didn't talk about his Irish homeland or any family that he left there. John did have the nickname of "Pipe". I have been told that he would sing sad Irish songs in the Irish for his own pleasure. I would really like to locate his Irish family for my two sons. Bernice

I have a Thomas Doyle (1856-?) who was married New Ross, Co. Wexford in 1887 to Mary Anne Hanrahan (25 Mar 1860 - ?). She was my ggrandmother's sister. Can anyone here connect a Hanrahan to a Doyle? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Thu, 9 Feb 2006 22:01:14 EST Subject: Re: [WEX] JOHN DOYLE - 1849 - WEXFORD As far as I know, John Doyle left Wexford when he was a young man of 17 or 18.
