Hi
Have just joined today as I am interested in finding out about my maternal grandmother and her family.
I know that she was born 29.9.1905 Ballon Hill Ballon Co Carlow Mary Atkinson
I believe her mother was unmarried at the time her name was Catherine Atkinson
She also had another daughter Brigid Atkinson 19.04.1908 before she was married.
She went on to marry David Doyle on 5.5.1908 in the Church in Ballon. David Doyle date of birth 6.7.1879 I do not know his date of death - He was born Laragh Ballon and his parents were Mary Breen and Pat Doyle, I think he also had siblings Edward Doyle, Michael, Patrick and Margaret Barry.
If anyone has any further information or indeed if descendants are still living in Ballon that would be great
Or if anyone could suggest what I could try now that would be great.
Thanks

Census data for Co. Carlow (1911 and 1901) is due on the National Archives website sometime later this year. (9 counties are currently available) see : http://census.nationalarchives.ie/
There is an Irish Civil index available on familysearch at : http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#c=1408347;p=2;t=searchable
You can order certs by post using the index details from the GRO : www.groireland.ie

Hellow Huggs ,As well as lookin through official records for dates of death you could also check with elder relatives for information.Another area to look at if your relative was catholic is old prayer book quite often you will find memorial cards these generaly have the date of death.
Hope this may help Diarmuid.

Hi
My name is Mary Kelly - nee Doyle. My late Father was James Doyle of Laragh Ballon Co Carlow. Edward Doyle (my Grandfather) was a brother of David Doyle - I'm not quite sure but I understand that David died young. I do have an old photograph of David as a young man.
Can this be of help to you.

Hi Mary
Thanks for the message. David Doyle is my Great Grandfather and I believe he died young as did my maternal Great Grandmother Kate Atkinson.
In total they had 3 children, Mary (My grandmother), Nancy and Bridget. We know that in the 1911 Census my Gt Grandmother had died as David was aged 31 and a widower he had been married 4 years with 2 children and one surviving Bridget (As my Grandmother and Nancy were born before they were married).
5.5.1908 David Doyle bachelor, labourer, Ballon son of Patrick Doyle, labourer married Kate Atkinson aged 20 spinster Ballon Hill, daughter of Peter Atkinson Labourer, they were married at Ballon Roman Catholic Church. The witnesses were Edward Nolan and Jane McKane.
After kate Atkinson died it appears that David went back to live with his parents at Tarragh, Ballon, Patrick and Mary Doyle they were married 46 years had 9 children - 8 living.
I don't know if you have all this information already? It would be good to have a photo as we don't have any of the Doyle's, Sadly Bridget died in England a couple of years ago. I could send you a photo of my Grandmother and her children?
Look forward to hearing from you Maria

Hi
My name is Gerard Foley and I live in Carlow. I discovered your post recently while researching my own family ancestry. My grandfather was Michael Doyle (younger brother of your great grandfather David Doyle and Edward (Ned) Doyle). So Michael and Ned would be uncles of your grandmother. I was very interested to find your post. I don't have any photos of David I'm afraid but may have some soon. I do have photos of Michael and Ned and the whole Doyle family - my mother is Attracta Doyle, daughter of Michael. David was a little older, he was 31 when Michael was 20 and Ned was 23. I have the same Census info from 1901 and 1911.
Do you have any photos of David and family/descendants that I could get a copy of, along with a brief history. I can supply you with anything of interest from Davids side. I recently went to Ballon cemetery to find any graves. As you know, Davids parents where Patrick Doyle and Mary Breen. Do you have any info about them? I could not find their gravestone as most are completely eroded and illegible. I don't yet know where David is buried. Perhaps you could help with that also.
I would appreciate anything you have and can help with the Doyles side
Thanks

Hi Gerald
Many thanks for your information I have fairly limited information on the Doyles but do know that one of David Doyles daughters is still alive (to the best of my knowledge in Ballon) She is my Grandmother's half sister.
I have photos' which I could send you of our side - My email address is (*) - Drop me an email and I'll send you some photos.

my grand father was ben doyle ,timahoe laois. Born 1903 died 1987. His father was Thomas Doyle Born 1869. His Grandfather Patrick Doyle born.1848 All born in Ballon Carlow . I assume the grt grandfather was James Doyle..born 1820.
There was a direct connection to The TD Edward I think

Hi maryk114
My great grandfather was Edward doyle (david's brother) - Did you meet Edward from Carlow or know anything about him or his wife more personally? I'd really like ot learn more about them (i have the key facts I think). I thought Edward had 4 children, Patrick, Eamon, Anna, Doris but is your father James Doyle another sibling of my grandad patrick (and another son of edward born 1888)?
