Yes, thank you. We'd love any details you can offer, especially on the newspaper report of Michael's death and a transcript of Anne's will, if you get a chance.
Not sure if you have this, but here is some family info you may not have.
Michael attended Knockbeg college (
http://www.knockbegcollege.ie/) as a boarder which is part of Carlow College.
Paul Kelly - was a boarder at Newbridge college, Kildare.
John Kelly was Captain of the Tullow Team on the day his brother James was Killed.
I had a chat with my Mum, who said that from what she recalls, Paul, his wife and very possibly their children, came to stay with Michael and his family in Dublin for a few months, sometime in the late 30's, early 40's. Possibly with a view to staying, but they did return to Australia in the end.
Also, his brother John also seems to have had a family in America, as one of Michael's family went to stay with them while working in the US.
Yes, Michael had 3 children, one of whom may still be alive, two have passed.
Am I correct in thinking you are on the Doyle side of the family? If so, do you know how Michael was related to Dr Joseph Nolan as his wife, (Christina - I think), was a lead mourner at the funeral.
Is there any chance, Christina Nolan was Anne's sister?
Please do let me know if you need any information on Michael's family and if there is anything you can tell me more about the Doyle's, I will be very grateful.
Best Regards
