From many posts it seems like there were/are many Doyles in that part of Ireland.
Andrew (b 29/11/1774) and his brother James was sent as a convict (along with his wife and 3 children including Cyrus Matthew) to Australia, in 1803. It was his son Cyrus Matthew who after marrying Frances Bigger daughter of a local farmer(Oct 1814) is said to have lived in the home he built on the Hawkesbury river called "Ulinbawn".
According to a newspaper record of 'The Hawkesbury Doyles' Cyrus Matthew named it 'Ulinbawn' after the old Wicklow home of the family.
Question is there a Ulinbawn in Wicklow? Is it a village or would a farm so named in the late 1700's still exist?
Can anyone shed any light on this? Hear from you. K Doyle Canberra, Australia

Oileán Ban/ Illaunbaun is nearest I can see but is a place in Kerry
