Wigtownshire / Re: Surname: Doyle
« on: Thursday 04 February 16 23:02 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
I have just found this site and have a bit of information on your James Doyle (Doile). He had a brother, William born in 1836 in Wigtownshire, Scotland and they with their parents (John and Elizabeth) went to Ontario Canada in around 1837 to 1840. James then went to Illinois in 1857 and on to Kansas the same year. His younger brother, William followed some time later. By that time William had a child named William born 1863 in Ontario Canada who then had a child also named William born 1904 in Kansas. This last William is my Grand father Doyle. I am trying to find out more information on John and Elizabeth Doyle of Wigtownshire Scotland. I have read that they too were born in Scotland, but cannot find any info. The family oral history believes that they are actually from Ireland but cannot prove it. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
