Miscellaneous Doyle
Miscellaneous families
of surname Doyle,
that are possibly related to our Flanagan family.
There are two Doyle families that we know inter-married with the Flanagans:
There are then two other Doyle families (below) that are meant to be some kind of relation of Flanagan.
- We cannot see how
the below two Doyle families could be related to Flanagan.
- We cannot see how
any of the four Doyle families could be related to each other.
Michael Francis Doyle thought he was a cousin.
[Frank Flanagan's memoirs] say he was:
"A relation of mine".
See him in various
Ancestry trees.
Proof of the origin of these Doyles in Dublin
Proof of the origin of these Doyles in Dublin
was hard:
-
The American records for this family are clear that all the siblings below
are the children of
Michael Doyle and "Bridget Stinson".
-
But annoyingly, all American records only say "Ireland".
There is no indication of county.
-
In
1957 article
Michael Francis Doyle said his Doyle family was from Dublin.
-
Ellen Doyle's death cert says she was born 31 Oct 1865, Ireland.
- After much searching, we find a baptism of an Ellen Doyle in Dublin on 14 November 1862,
dau of Michael Doyle and "Bridget Stephenson" (which is a known variant of "Stinson").
- Crucially, it says she was born 31 October 1862.
This is her.

He mar
Bridget Stinson [or Stephenson].

Stinson surname are:

Stephenson and Stevenson.
She is
"Stephenson" at dau's bapt 1862.
"Stinson" on her children's death certs.
Living 37 Mabbot St, Dublin, as at 1862:
Michael and Bridget were living at 37 Mabbot St (now James Joyce St), Dublin,
as at dau's bapt 1862.
Some or even all of the children emigrated to America.
Bridget may have emigrated with them.
There is a Bridget Doyle who died 12 Dec 1889 in Philadelphia,
and is bur with son William (died 1912) in
Holy Cross Cemetery,
Yeadon, Pennsylvania.
Findagrave
thinks this is her.
But death cert
says this Bridget was age 46 (born 1843) and so would be too young to be her.
Most likely explanation: It is her, and death cert age is grossly inaccurate.
