Francis O'Boyle b. 1795: Mayo is a big place
« on: Wednesday 16 June 10 06:11 BST (UK) »
I am traveling to Ireland next month and would love to be able to visit a specific place in County Mayo. Mayo is a big place!

Francis (Frank) O'Boyle was born in 1795 in Mayo and married Margaret Walsh (sometimes Welch or Welsh) born in 1799 in Mayo. They had four children in Mayo before leaving for Canada in 1848: Timothy O'Boyle born May 1837, Francis O'Boyle born Dec 1840, Daniel O'Boyle born 1844, and Margaret born 1842.

Any information would be sincerely appreciated.
O'Boyles and Walshs of County Mayo, Ireland>Canada>Buffalo, NY>Jefferson County, Indiana>Clinton County, Liberty Township (Toronto/Lost Nation), Iowa

Fitzgeralds from Washington, D.C. before 1900. After 1900 family is in Chicago, Illinois. Would like to trace them back to Ireland or UK

Do you know if the O'Boyle family were Catholic ?

You could check for parish records - but since you have quite common names, and no location your search could be very difficult. The other point to be aware of is that not all parishes were keeping records for the dates you mentioned, and very few RC parishes have records before 1800.

You can see a map of the RC parishes in the county on the Irish Times website at : Mayo RC parishes  (click on the map to see details & dates available for each parish)

Some Mayo records are available on the pay-website of the Irish Family History Foundation at www.irish-roots.ie  The records they have are transcripts, and may not include all parishes or records.

I found in Crossmolina Parish RC Church records:
Feb 6 1833 Marriage of Thomas O'Boyle and Margaret Walsh, townland of Carrowcloughy. Witness were John Hunt and Bridget Walsh. I have no children born to this couple though.

Hi
The only one I have that early is a Thomas O'boyle marrying Feb 6 1833 to Margaret Walsh in Carrowcloghagh. Witnesses were John Hunt and Bridget Walsh.
Remember my warning abt the condition of Crossmolina records-records were very faded, missing, and my interpretation of the handwritting could very well be incorrect I did the best I can.
