How exciting. Yes, we are cousins. I am Catherine Doyle Robinson's Great granddaughter. My great grandfather George Robinson ( not Welch, he was a compositor, or printer) immigrated to (Dorchester) Boston in 1886, in 1889 his wife Kate Doyle Robinson and 3 year old son John followed and a year later, Kate's brother William came and lived with them. My Mom is with me for the Holiday and so excited about this connection. She was very close to her Uncle Billy ( your grandfather). I know that William's family settled in Dorchester. In 1902 Kate and George moved from Dorchester to Brockton, that's where I grew up. My Mom (Mary Reardon Fay b. 1920) stayed in touch with Dick and Evelyn for many years. As children she was closer to Bobby, who died in the war 1945. Kates daughter Agnes Robinson Reardon was my grandmother.
Catherine( Kate) died in 1940. Kate & William's brother Richard was in the military and lived in Devon, England. (I have had a few emails with one of his decendants who is on Ancestry.com. )
Sometime around 1884-1885 the Doyle family moved to Waterford. This is where Kate married George. Their sister Mary married Patrick Power.( The husband of a decendant of Mary's is on Ancestry too. I had a few communications from him. )GGgrandfather John died in 1884. Johanna lived with Mary in Waterford, until she died in 1914.
I had very little information on Francis, my mother recalls that Catherine, entered the convent? I guess we will be able to fill in some blanks for each other.
My direct email is * I still live in Massachusetts. I will send you an invite to see my Ancestry tree when I have your email. Merry Christmas. Best Maureen
