Maureen,

Searched the indexes in the office in Dublin for George W Robinson marrying abt 1883. I searched from 1880 to 1888 but couldn't find anything.  Neither could I find a birth cert for him. However you note that he was born in 1863 and the records for civil registrations only commence at 1864. I searched a couple of years around that date but nothing. Your brick wall is proving more difficult than the Berlin Wall to crack.
As regards Johanna Doyle. Yes the gravestone in Waterford shows an incorrect date as we expected. Johanna died on 14 June 1914 in the Union Hospital Waterford. Cause of death as far as I can make out is down as 'Mitral Disease/General oedema certified'
Regarding the grave at the chapel of ease. Her daughter Mary power (died 1929 aged 67 yrs) and Bridget Power - daughter of Mary (died 1938 aged 33) Christy Power (died 7 April 1979) and his wife
Josie Spain are also in the same grave. Margaret Barrett (nee Power died 13 Dec 1974) is also in the same graveyard but not same grave.
I will keep an eye out for the Robinson side as I begin to fill in more of my tree. Hopefully that wall will be scaled.

That wont be a prob. I will try and find some mention of him in the civil registry office in Dublin first.
A lot of our  civil records were destroyed in the Custom house attack during the War Of Independence and more again from the Four Courts Offices during the Civil War. If They are there I should be able to find some trace.

Maureen,

My brother rang me to say that the date on Johanna's gravestone shows 1913.
He thinks that this could be out by a couple of years though as the date for her daughter Mary is incorrect. When I get to Waterford next week I will pop in and have a look at the book entries.
'Sometimes' these can have a cross reference showing communion/confirmation/wedding date.
I wouldn't be confident on this point though as Sgt Major Doyle doesn't show his religion as RC.
Also Withero is not a RC name in general.

Many thanks for the photo. I will try and find out as much as I can. I will be at home in Waterford next week and will make some enquiries. I have just started research and at the moment I have disjointed info all over the place. Irish families are very confusing as we keep recycling the same Christian names over and over again as you prob already know. When I have anything new I will post it. If there is any money involved ...well what can I say    8)

Re : CSM Richard Doyle


Hi,

If you go to the Irish census for 1911 and 1901 at www.census.nationalarchives.ie (it's free)

Search the census for Johanna Doyle living with her daughter in Waterford.

For 1911 she is shown for living at house No 7 Well road Waterford
For 1901 she is shown as living at 20 Tramore Old Rd Waterford

This is the same woman. Her age in one of them is incorrect.
This woman's maiden name is Withroe/Withero from Cashel Co. Tipp

This is Sgt Major Doyle's mother.  The Mary Power listed is her daughter. Her (Mary's) daughter is the Kate on the census form. This is my Grandmother. Johanna Doyle is my great great grandmother.
Johanna is buried in The Chapel Of Ease, Ferrybank Parish, Waterford, Ireland.
Mary Power is Richards sister and my grat grandmother.

Mary
