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
