Hi Kerry
I would love to be able to read the family information that you have. Do you have it in paper form only? I am living in New Zealand but I would be happy to pay for photo copying and postage to be able to send it to me??  Family history is certainly fascinating - would love to know the exact connection between Mary Dwyer and Patrick Doyle, it would give a starting point for further investigations in Ireland wouldn't it. Shame about the fire burning so many of their records over there.

Look forward to keeping in touch cousin!
Shaun

Hi Kerry
Thomas and Kate are my great great grandparents. It goes Shaun (me), Kenneth Joseph Doyle (my dad), Ronald Joseph Victor Doyle (my granddad), Joseph A Doyle (great granddad), Thomas Doyle. Where exactly do you fit in?

I did as much of our family tree as I could about 20 years ago. Having a quick flick through the internet tonight I saw your post. After digging up my old file I see what I told you wasn't exactly right - I don't know that Mary Dwyer (nee Doyle) was Patricks sister - I only heard that they were related in some way, and Michael Dwyer arranged to have Patrick assigned to the James Bull (their neighbour)before he arrived on the 3 Bees. I guess Mary would be too old to be Patricks sister if he was born around 1795 and she was born around 1775? I had heard somewhere that Patrick Doyle's mother was possibly a "Ryan". Does this fit in with anything you've heard. There's definitely a connection back in Ireland though isn't there.

Nice to be in touch with you.
Regards,
Shaun

Hi
I am a direct descendant of Patrick Doyle. What I have heard about the crime Patrick committed was that he stole a coat and a vest while working for a tailor in Dublin. The other rumour was that it was a trumped up charge because he was part of the rebellion against the king. Mary Doyle was, I believe, his sister who sent a letter to James Bull (Ann's father) trying to organise Patrick being assigned to him - after arriving in Australia. I have no information relating to his history in Ireland. I don't have any death certificate for him and don't know what happened to his wife, Ann. Do you know anything about this? I believe another Doyle married into this Doyle line later on in Australia. Is that who you are referring to? Have you had any luck finding out about Patrick's Dublin past?
