Title: Boyle
Post by: littlebirdieone on Friday 20 December 13 06:43 GMT (UK)

 :)Hi I am looking for a Michael Boyle, I was told they came from County Down, his son was born 1819 George, and he married  in England in 1851 to Mary Ann Bernard. They both then moved to Australia- Western Australia. Any help greatly appreciated

Hi
I have an interest in the Boyle family from Co Down but cannot verify your information.
A George Boyle married in the March Qtr of 1851 Islington District.3/206.
If you are lucky they may be together on the 1851 census. That should give you info as to place of birth etc.

If his parents moved to England they might be on the 1841/1851 census with George perhaps.

Have you a copy of the Marriage certificate?  That should confirm his father's name, occupation etc.
Then you need to start looking for Michael Boyle in various Irish family history sites which you can google. Boyle may be spelt Boal or Bole or with an S at the end.
Good luck
Dale.

 :)Hi Dale Many thanks for your email. I have a copy of George's marriage entry for Jan 1851 and that is how I found out his father was Michael. I had been told it was Abraham but not according to his marriage certificate. I will go back and look at the 1851 census and see what I can find.
Many thanks again
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you.
Regards Dawn

Lotsa 4 leaf clovers to you! I hope you find them with other family members so you have a broader base to "invade" Irish records!
Search for Ros Davies site  for Michael & George anyway!
All the best for the festive season.

Boyle / Bole / Boles / Boal are all derivatives of the same name.  It may be worth remembering that back in the 18th, 19th & even into the 20th century, the only people who could write tended to be the clergy and their clerks, Hence Ireland and Scotland having far better records of hatch, match and dispatch. However, they did not always record names correctly and on occasions, recorded the names as they sounded or as they thought.
There is a wife and sone (Bole) buried in Kenyaka Station in Austrailia (late 1880s) but no record of the husband.
