"pittsburgh in the 1920's to date"
You'll find lots of help here but be careful not to mention the names of any living people or any that might be still living - meaning anyone born less than 100 years ago and not known to be deceased.

Here's a 1935 news item about Julia M. Doyle with lots of personal detail, from the Jewish Criterion (a newspaper that is still published in Pittsburgh). The original text is plain text that is not formatted at all. The link to the original online is http://pjn.library.cmu.edu/books/CALL1/CRI_1935_086_012_07261935/vol0/part0/copy0/ocr/txt/0022.txt
"Miss Doyle Announces
Candidacy for Clerk of
Courts
Julia M. Doyle, well-known Pittsburgh attorney, is the only woman candidate for the office of Clerk of Courts of Allegheny County in the Democratic primaries on September 17. This is the second time Miss Doyle has run for this office, having been the choice of the Democratic Party for this place in the 1932 campaign.
Miss Doyle has been engaged in the active practice of the Law since her admission to the Allegheny County Bar in 1931, having graduated from the Pittsburgh Law School, Schenley High and the University of Pittsburgh. It is well known to her many friends that this young lady worked her way through school, and has done almost every sort of work possible, from working in a cake factory to aiding certain professors in the writing of their books on sociology and history.
She has been active in politics since attaining her majority,, having been a Democrat consistently, and has never voted nor registered other than the Democratic ticket. At the same time she is not bound to nor in sympathy with machine politics as such are generally understood to mean. She is known recently by her work as president of the Civil Service Commission of the City of Pittsburgh, which she held during most of the year of 1934. Her record in that capacity was commendable. She is known to have been the youngest person to ever have served in this office. Since her retirement from that post she has spent much of her time defending employees who have been ousted from office while supposedly protected by Civil Service Law."

I found a court case involving Julia Doyle, acting as attorney for her sister-in-law, who took over Wayne Printing, perhaps after Joseph Doyle died(?). Very complete and interesting, if you want to know what happens when a printing company is shipped a three-legged printing press--one leg defective--by a manufacturer who had shipped it first to another customer in a different state.

Hi, Paula McDermott!
I am Karen Jones - one of Edith & David Roulley's daughters from REPLY#9.
My maternal grandparents were Dorothy Nespojohny & Edward Vincent Doyle. Mary Price & Michael Doyle (Edward Vincent Doyle's parents) were my great grandparents. Grandpa Ed died before I was born, but Grandma Dorothy and I were very close and she told me many stories of her early marriage years living with Mary, Julia, and the rest of the family. I hope we can chat more about this. Looking forward to your response.

Hi Mick: You're welcome.
Incidentally, I looked to find out where Chatsworth Avenue was located in Pittsburgh. It's in a neighborhood called Hazelwood, south of Pittsburgh's downtown. Nice name for a neighborhood, but not such a nice place to live.
Pittsburgh from the 1920s into the early 1980s was was one giant steel mill. Hazelwood's part in the process was that it was the location of a coke works (where coal was baked in a large "oven" in the absence of air) and blast furnaces.
Coke, which is almost pure carbon, was dumped into a blast furnace (there were four of them in Hazelwood) with iron ore and limestone to make iron, which was made into steel in an open hearth furnace.
There was incredible air pollution from the coke works and blast furnaces hanging over Hazelwood, and the Doyles were cheek by jowl with them. I mean: Chatsworth Avenue was across the road from the coke works.

John :o :o :o

Do you have copies of their Pennsylvania Death Certificates? It lists his Parents as John Doyle and Julie Bennett the informant was Julie Doyle. Mary Price's lists her parents as John Price and Mary Brophy informant Julia Markey. Maybe same Julie/Julia who was informant on Michael's but married surname on mother's. Beans
