Wigtownshire / Surname: Doyle
« on: Thursday 21 June 12 03:06 BST (UK) »
I'm sorry if this is not the correct place to post this, please correct me if there is a better place to put this. 
I am a beginner & looking for information on my 3rd Great Grandfather & his family. The information I do have is as follows:
His name is James H. Doyle b.July 29, 1830 in Wigtownshire to John & Elizabeth (maiden name ?) Doyle both also of Scotland (both are buried in Canada).
Story has it that he & a brother, William, changed the spelling of Doyle to Doile in the USA.
William possibly was born in Canada. I'm not sure of any other siblings.
James married Charlotte Sharpe of Yorkshire, England (b. November 18, 1832) in 1857 in Illinois, USA. They had 8 children.
Can anyone help me with what to do now?
I honestly don't know where to start looking since I don't know a county.
THANK YOU in advance for any help you can provide!
