I am trying to trace my Coyne ancestry, unfortunately I have come to a full stop. So far I have my Grandfather Robert Joseph Coyne born in Waterford on the 1st jan 1825 died in 1910 Dubbo NSW Australia. He married Ann Sophia Frogley in 1849 in NSW. So far so good however its from then on that I have problems. His death cert stats his father as William, mother unknown. What I know of William is that he was a landowner probably somewhere in Waterford, for some reason, when he died, he cut his son Robert from his will and left his estate to the church (catholic most likely). I think the church used it as a school.
I have found a baptism record for a Robert Coyne with some interesting info:
