Kilkenny / Re: Looking for Doyle Researchers in Kilkenny
« on: Thursday 27 August 15 20:21 BST (UK) »
Hello!
I too am searching for my Doyle ancestors in Kilkenny. My 3rd Great Grandfather was Thomas Doyle born in Thomastown circa 1815. He was Catholic and immigrated to Prince Edward Island about 1840 where he married and my GG Grandfather Andrew Doyle was born in 1845. I have done some DNA testing which has lead me to other Doyle descendants from Kilkenny but I have yet to find any information regarding Thomas. Has anyone had any luck contacting the Catholic Parishes in Kilkenny? I do know that circa 1830 there was a Catholic Priest Martin Doyle and Bishop James Doyle who organized the resistance during the Tithe War but not much else regarding the Doyle Family.
Thanks in Advance for any insights
