Thank you all for your info. I'm thinking that "Doel" may have originated as "Dowall" or McDowell. I couldn't find any other records of "Doel" in Horn Head, Dunfanaghy, or Clondahorky, Donegal. There was a Margaret Doel in England. No connection. Unless William Alcorm met here somewhere else and brought her home to Horn Head. Doubtful.

I still think that Doel may have sometimes been transcribed as Doyle, Dowell

That's possible. We know for certain that this is "our" 'William Alcorn' from Horn Head, Clondahorky, Dunfanaghy, and that this is his marriage. The name Doel could have been spelled this way in the marriage records only. Can't find other Doels on Horn Head or around Dunfanaghy. You may be right. Thanks.

Have you got a copy of the marriage certificate between William Alcorn and Margaret Doel, it should tell you were she came from.  I don't have a computer so I use the local library, the machine were all down when I came in this morning so I went on the Micro fich they have a few irish records, so looked up my own family they had a look for Doel, if says to look under Doyle, looked under Doyle, Margaret Doel married William Alcorn 22.2.1864 No. M701625, Doel is listed in between Doyle and Dill on the records.  But they do not have the films here in the library.
Margaret Doel might have been English or Scottish.

The LDS records do not state the names of her parents. It is possible that Margaret was English. Perhaps there were families of British soldiers and other British officials in Dunfanaghy at the time. The other theory is that the name was derived from Dowall, or Doyle. Thanks for your thoughts.

I have come across van der doel, Dutch name might have stayed in Ireland after the Battle of the Boyne.
Have you tried going through www.google.com when the box comes up type in the name Doel, or Doel of ireland or england, seems a lot of Doel are looking for relatives.
