Is Doyle not Rachel's husband?

Rachel's father may or may not have been someone called Patrick and may or may not have been an ex-soldier/soldier.

Here's Rachel Doyle in 1911- ages consistant with 1901 so perhaps Rachel reduced her age a few years so as not to be older than her husband- think the 'son' John Doyle could be the adopted orphan John Boyd with them in 1901:

Another interesting bit from 1911 is that Rachel had 8 children but only 2 living.

The son, John I know for fact, was adopted and my father was the only one of grans 8 children who lived.  I have found four of the children's death records.  They died from conditions which are now easily cured.  Horrible times then.

I think you have hit the nail on the head.  My great grandfather Patrick Doyle and Mary Mcgiveran possibly got together and were not married.  Secrets were very common in those days.  Thank you for the help reference Mary Mcgiverin and it gives closure to an unanswered question.

I think you forgot to post your reply  :-\

Another thread looking for the same person?

This is what I wanted to ask.  Is it possible to search at the G.R.O. for a marriage with only the name of the male only and the first name of the wife?
