Looking to confirm ancestor in the Doyle family

Dear Acadirish:

Thank you for your post to the Ireland Reaching Out message board.

There is a baptism entry for a Morgan Doyle of 11 November 1753 in Trinity Within Cathedral.  His parents were:  John Doyle and Mary (surname not listed).  Sponsors were:  James Lahy & Margaret Harvey.  The National Library of Ireland (NLI) has parish registers available to view online for free for this parish.  The link to the page is below:

The baptism entry is very faded and is at the top right hand corner.  Mary's surname is very difficult to read. 

I also found a marriage record for a John Doyle & Maria Roche in the same parish.  This marriage took place on 14 January 1750.  Witnesses were:  Margaret Roche & Catherine Dangan.  There was a note on the register that one of the witnesses was the mother of the bride.  This would appear to be Margaret.  The link to this page is below:

These records can also be accessed through Roots Ireland but that is a subscription website.

You might try to contact the Waterford Archaeological & Historical Society.  Their email address is:  info@waterford-history.org

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

 

Kind regards,

 

Jane.

Thank you so much Jane for your reply and the links to follow. This is certainly a good lead to follow. If I could get names of siblings for one of the John Doyles it could confirm Morgan Doyle 1753. I will work with this and contact Waterford Archeological and Historical Society.

Again many thanks.
