My stepmom's 2nd great grandfather, John Doyle, was born in Missouri in 1844. I'm trying to figure out who his parents were, but I think they might have been born in Ireland and Immigrated before John's birth. John married Rebecca hannah Johnston and had 4 children together that I know of. Can anyone help me?
Did your John move to Texas by 1900 ?
If so there's a possible match for him with Rebecca and four children (Warren, John, Bettie & Arthur) in Hamilton, Texas - his place of birth is Missouri and his parents are both noted as born Kentucky. His mother in law Amelia Johnston is also in the household at the time.
p.s. his surname is listed as Doyal on this census
Based on Shane's information, this might be his marriage record from Ancestry. There are 163 trees on Ancestry for this family.
