Hi, Still no evidence of a relationship but another anecdote ... Patrick's daughter, Mary Anne, and her husband, John Anlezark, lived and worked on the Dwyer Farm at Liverpool after their marriage.  Mary Dwyer (nee Doyle) was Mary Anne's Godmother and James Dwyer, son of Michael and Mary, was her godfather.  Are you able to give me any names and places with which I can compare stories.

Hi iano.01
I'm pretty sure the Duke of Argyll went down in Moreton Bay after the storm in which your gggrandfather performed an heroic deed to save lives.  The family then continued to Sydney on the Maria Soames.  I'm trying to locate where I first saw this information.  I descend from James' older brother, Matthew Doyle and Elizabeth O'Neill.

Hi Shaun, 
I can send the information via email. Also, it's good that you are in NZ. We have cousins there and I have hit a brick wall with them. Denis Doyle went to Grey's River in the mid 1800s. He was Kate Doyle's uncle. He did very well and eventually became a public figure. He died in 1912 in Arthur Street,  Blenheim.  He had two daughters whose married names were Scott and Taylor.  Their husbands were Valentine Scott and Joseph Taylor. Val Scott was a sportsman and a journalist. He is the only civilian buried in a war cemetery over there.  I'll send you more info soon (eg their children's names) and you might be able to trace them .
Talk soon

That's really interesting as it links up with things that I often heard from my grandfather.  He said that we were related to Michael Dwyer, the Wicklow Chief.  Michael's wife was named Mary Doyle.  Is the Mary Doyle you mention in your response the wife of Michael Dwyer?
I know that Michael Dwyer's farm was close by Cabramatta Creek where the Bulls farm was ... and later Patrick and Ann Doyle had their farm close to that of Michael.  Also, Mary Dwyer and some of her children were godparents to the children of Patrick and Ann Doyle.
This makes it very likely that Mary Doyle Dwyer was the sister of Patrick Doyle.
As for the other Doyle family .... Patrick's grandson, Thomas Doyle (son of Patrick's son, Richard), married Catherine Doyle from Woolloomooloo.  She was the granddaughter of James and Margaret Doyle who arrived in NSW from Wicklow.  Thomas and Catherine are my great grandparents.
As for the death of Ann Bull Doyle, I have tried a few possibilities.  It is possible that she died the same year as her daughter, Mary Ann Anlezark (1852)  I saw a note at Liverpool Pioneers Park that Ann Doyle is buried with her father, James Bull.
Would you mind telling me how you descend from Patrick Doyle.
Good wishes.

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.
Kerry
