Tipperary / Re: John Doyle Judith Withero, Cashel
« on: Tuesday 20 December 11 02:40 GMT (UK) »
I am a great granddaughter of John Doyle and Johanna Withrow. My grandfather was the William Doyle you list. My father was Francis Withrow Doyle. On a trip to Cashel to look up my grandfather William's place of birth, I got William's birth record and the info about his siblings from the Irish Genealogy Center in Cashel. That was the extent of my information until I saw your post.
Around 1890 William emigrated to the US (Boston) with his sister Kate, who married a man named Welch. William married Catherine Hickey from Ballydehob (West Cork) whom he met in Boston. They had 8 children, 6 boys, 2 girls. He died in 1949.
My maiden name was Janet Doyle. If your GG grandmother was my G grandmother, we must be 2nd cousins once removed. My Doyle relatives mostly live in Massachusetts.
I have wondered about the prior history. Doyle was an unusual name in Cashel and Withrow is an unusual name, period. I heard from my father's sister that one of her Cashel uncles went to England and worked as a reporter.
