Thanks for your great research and interest.
Bartholemew Doyle is my GreatX5 grandfather. He married Bridget (nee Nugent) His parents were, according to the information I have Edward and Anna.
Can you confirm that Bartholemew had a brother Christopher.
I have information of 7 children. James,Anthony , Mary , Thomas AndrewJohn and Bridget.
2 sons Andrew and James were sent to Australia as convicts for a) being part of the uprising in the late 1790's or b) forgery. Andrew was convicted for possession of a forged bank note in 1801 along with James, resulting in them being exiled to Australia, being detained at Newgate Prison, Dublin before being transported.They were transported on the ship 'Rolla', leaving Ireland on 4 November 1802 Wives and families were allowed on the Rolla which left Cork on November 4 1802..Andrew's wife Sophia Isabella nee Norris and three children(Cyrus Matthew b.1793, Louisa b.1795(later to marry in Aust toJKMcDougall and later W. Ardagh) and their 3rd child Edmund b.1799) went with them. 4 children later bornto Andrew and Sophia in Aust.
For my link,Cyrus Mathew first married Frances Bigger in 1814, Big Andrew was their first child.b.1815. He married firstly Catherine Broughton Howe in 1837. Thefirst of their 10 children was Andrew Cyrus(littleAndrew). He married Angelina Williams in 1862. Their 5th and last child was Kenneth Louis Cyrus Doyle b.1874. He married Mary Butcher. Their 3rd and last child Kenneth Raymond (Ray) was my dad.
So many questions. I too would be interested of the parents back in Dublin Bartholemew and Bridget. They must have been heartbroken with so many of their children and grandchildrenbeing half a world away.
What happened to them? Did they have other family members back in Dublin? Looking for answers.
