Dublin / Patrick Doyle
« on: Sunday 05 October 14 12:42 BST (UK) »
I've looked for information about my g,g,g grandfather for many years. Patrick Doyle was sent from Ireland on 'The Three Bees' in 1813, crime unknown, even though the family legend says that he was sent to NSW for rebelling against the English King. The documentation in NSW suggests he came from Dublin. In NSW, he was assigned to James Bull near Liverpool, and upon his release, he married Ann Bull, the second daughter of James.
Would anyone in Ireland know anything about Patrick or The Three Bees and the men who came to their new home in 1813. I can find no information about their crimes. The Three Bees now lies at the bottom of Sydney Harbour just near the Opera House ... it burnt to death after a candle was knocked over. It was carrying gunpowder and still had a loaded 'canon' (it confronted the French on the voyage).
Patrick was born about 1795. He died in Liverpool, NSW in 1862. His parents' names are not recorded on his death record. It is likely that he was a tailor in Dublin.
Many thanks.
