I've looked and i'm stumped. I've scrolled through the scanned parish records for his baptism, Lucan and surrounds. There's also no next of kin on his crimean war record, not that I can see

I originally paid to have the Civil record scanned, as it hadn't been done at that point in time. But that was to get to the bottom of the mystery of his wife. All it did was give me more questions about hi

[wivenhoe]

Can you please list all the details on the death certificate, 1904, John DOYLE.

No children in the first four years of marriage....then five children in eight years?

Where did John DOYLE and Hannah KENT marry?

[maresscares]

Married 1865 Dublin South and within a few months they were on the way to Perth, Western australia

Doyle, John. age 70, Born Dublin, Parents Patrick and Murray, Catherine, Death 6/10/1904 Beaconsfield

As for the children 2 of them aren't even on Births deaths and marriages, Hannahs burrial record was transcribed wrong.

[maresscares]

I have a theory
That John for some reason changed his surname and his mother may of had the middle name Christina. If I take those factors into account, I find these things

1820 Marriage of THOMAS DOONIGAN   CATHERINE MURRAY - Lucan
1821 Baptism of CATHERINE DOONIGAN - Lucan - Parents listed as THOMAS DOONIGAN  CHRISTIANA DOONIGAN
1826 Baptism of THOMAS DOONIGAN - lucan - Parents listed as THOS. DOONIGAN CHRISTIAN DOONIGAN
1831 Baptism of ANN DONEGAN - Palmerstown - Parents listed as THOS. [THOMAS] DONEGAN CHRISTINE DONEGAN
1831 Baptism of DANL DONEGAN - Palmerstown - Parents listed as THOS. [THOMAS] DONEGAN CHRISTINA DONEGAN
1833 Baptism of JNO. [JOHN] DONEGAN - Palmerstown - Parents Listed as THOMAS DONEGAN
CHRISTINA DONEGAN
1835 Baptism of MARY DONNEGAN - Palmerstown - Parents listed as THOS. [THOMAS] DONNEGAN
CHRISTINA DONNEGAN

Has anyone ever come accross a last name change while still in the their birth country and using the fathers real surname on documents?

"...As for the children 2 of them aren't even on Births deaths and marriages, Hannahs burrial record was transcribed wrong."

What names do you have for their children...where and when born?

What do you have for Hannah's (incorrect) burial record?

[maresscares]

Elizabeth 1869, Perth
Maria Rebecca  1871, Perth.
John  1873, Perth
Alice 1874 perth
Thomas 1877 perth

The Cemtery that Hannah was burried in, is now a Primary school or Park. Not sure when, but someone went through and transcribed all the records, had her down as Maria Doyle. However Hannahs Death Cert date matches exactly with the Maria on the transcribed records

[wivenhoe]

".. Hannah Kent nee McMullen 1865"   John DOYLE marries Hannah KENT...a widow?

What names do you see for witnesses on the marriage record, 1865?

Did Hannah bring any KENT children with her to Western Australia?

Can you please list all the information on the death certificate, 1904, John DOYLE.
