Doyles/Egan/Timmons/O Neill of Dun Laoghaire
« on: Sunday 29 January 12 20:43 GMT (UK) »
Hello, I am researching a branch of my Doyle family who lived in Kingstown/Dun Laoghaire.

They are a new branch which i have discovered through researching Denis Doyle of 28 Fleet Street, Dublin.

Would appreciate anybody who has any interest in and or local history books/old photographs of Kingstown / Dun Laoghaire which they could look up..... and might offer me a clue or lead !! so all the info is below!

The families that are connected:
DOYLES of Kingstown who are the descendant branch of Denis Doyle, 28 Fleet Street, Dublin and Sydenham House, Dundrum, who was a grocer, spirit merchant of the city of Dublin.

The following names marrying into the family of Doyle in Kingstown are Egan, Timmons and O Neill.

Advert: Freemans Journal of 1871: for Shapleys Champagne Cider and Perry may be purchased from DENIS DOYLE and SON 28 Fleet Street and KINGSTOWN.

Question 1: Was there a pub / grocer etc called Denis Doyle and Son in Kingstown in the 1870's??

Marriage: Doyle and Egan: January 11th 1875 at St. Michaels Kingstown: William eldest son of Denis Doyle, Esq. Sydenham House Dundrum, to Charlotte Emily, youngest daughter of the late William Egan, Esq (grocer and spirit wine merchant of Summerhill Dublin).

Gravestone in Deansgrange
Erected by Charlotte Doyle in memory of her husband William Doyle who died at Royal Terrace 2/5/1890 aged
43, Mary Maud Doyle died 1/5/1911, Henry Edward Doyle died 22/10/1914, Charlotte Emily Doyle died 5/9/1924.
France Ellen Doyle died 20/1/1921, Mary Philomena Stephanie died 16th May 1928 aged 26 dearly beloved wife of Wm Edward Doyle. Also Frances Ellen need Doyle wife of Denis O Neill died 1/1/1939. Eva Emily Timmons nee Doyle wife of Dr.W.P Timmons died 8/2/1931?? (Hard to read from headstone).

Question 2: Does 4, Royal Terrace East still exist or is all knocked now? Any photos of the street in any local history books?

Thanks for reading and looking!

Thanks Shane. Had written a bit more on the first post but it seems to hang and then I lose all the text when i go to save it to the website.

If anyone has any photos of victorian street of Dun Laoghaire or Royal Terrace East that would be good.

Thanks Gerard

There's a small scan of a 1906 postcard showing Lwr. George's Street at this link (dublin.ie forums)

The postcard was made with a b/w photo coloured in during manufacture
