You may have searched the Index to Irish civil registrations at the LDS site- it is showing only 4 Withrow registrations but none for Withroe
 http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=0
If you haven't got them already certs can be ordered by sending reference nos to www.groireland.ie
Hope this is of use.

You obviously have these, just pointing out the spelling...an extracted IGI file for William's birth , dates as noted, has her as Judith "Withero" 


and more
MARY DOYLE b. May 29  1864 - 0540, Cashel, Tipperary, Ireland
Richard DOYLE b. Mar 5  1869     
both have parents as John DOYLE & Judith WIDROW

Thank you so much. I will continue to check Family Search. I did find Richard and Mary there, with Judith as Widrow, I have seen her as Withers, Withero and my G Grandmothers obit said Withroe - another mystery to uncover. Although I have been told "th" is pronounced "d" in gaelic and that could account for variation. 
Thanks again,
Maureen

a Richard Witherow  born Aug. 30th 1873 Tipperary
   to a Richard Witherow & Margaret Organ

Catherine Widrow died Tipperary  Sept.1886, age 82 ( c1804)...Might want to look into that one as might be  her namesake...
and oh, dear me, I just found some Widerow on the IGI.... J.J.

I remember being in Clogher cemetery ( between Holycross and Clonoulty) up on the hill and there is at least one old Witheroe/Witherow grave there. Jim (as far as I remember) Witherow used to sell and fill  fire extinguishers a few years ago and should still be around Thurles.
Regards.

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.
