I know it says male but I don't think the sex of the child was listed at this time in the registers so may be a guess by the transcriber.

The occupation I gave also match the area were a Matthew and Mary DOYLE settled in South Australia (Wallaroo) which shortly after they arrived discovered copper.

I have concentrated solely on the three girls I know about but I keep being drawn to South Australia.  Mary Ann DOYLE wrote a memorium in the newspaper 5 years after her death which was to be copied to the newspaper in Adelaide, but at this time all her know family were in Victoria not South Australia,  so I have assumed she must have other family there that I don’t know about.  The passenger list of the General Hewitt in 1858 indicates the family came from Wicklow and rootsireland has the chlidren’s baptisms in Avoca , the same place I have on the BMD certificates I have for the older girls.  Margaret Doyle first marriage also occurred in Adelaide, South Australia. 
More coincidences without proof it’s getting frustrating.

I have attached partial copies of the BMD certificates I have the show the parents names (Matthew and Mary) however Death certificate information depends solely on the informant knowing the correct information.  Also, Mary Ann spelled her name as DOILE on her Marriage certificate, Ihve not seen this spelling used anywhere else during my research.

The MATT DOYLE & MARY MCKEOAGH marriage you mentioned sounds very promising.  I will need further information to confirm it is the correct one though and rootsireland could get very expensive

I have hit a brickwall.  I am looking for any information on the DOYLE family of Avoca, Wicklow.

The information I have from a rootsireland.ie search is that Matthew and Mary DOYLE had
Elizabeth 1838
Margaret 1840
James 1843
Letitia 1846
Catherine 1849

There are two other children that I cannot find a baptism listing for
Mary Ann 1837 (my Great Great grandmother)
Eleanor 1852

I am also unable to find and marriage entry for Matthew DOYLE and Mary MCEWAN.

The records I most want to find are proving to be the ones I can’t find.  Mary Ann’s baptism and the marriage of her parents

Further information:
I have Victorian (Australia) death and marriage records for Mary Ann, Elizabeth, and Margaret that mention the birthplace for Wicklow, Avoca and parents Matthew Doyle and Mary MCKEON / MCEWAN .  The others appear on a passenger list arriving in South Australia in 1858 saying they came for Wicklow.
The MCEWAN name is only connected to the three oldest girls as they married and died in Victoria which has more information on its BMD Certificates.  I am only assuming they the same Matthew and Mary Doyle as the birthplace is the same for all the children I have found and all have connections to South Australia, but did not arrive together.

I live in Australia and am mostly interested in any Irish information that can be found.
