Any help appreciated. Looking for info: regarding my Grt. Grandfather born 1806 who married a Margaret ?
They had 6 children, three born in Ireland - Maria, Margaret Francis and Jeremiah, and
the other 3 born in Liverpool.
Ive not been able to find His Parents, nor Wife’s Surname.
Thank you.
In the 1861 UK census, the Doyle family looked like this. Note Michael was born in Dublin, Margaret in Louth, one child in Dublin, two in Dundalk in Louth.

This Isabella Doyle was bap. in Dundalk in 1844 so matches your Michael’s daughter’s age. However, her mother is called Isabella here. Was Margaret also called Isabella? Did the priest writing down the info err? Or is it a separate Isabella?
Name: Isabella Doyle
Date of Baptism: 08-Apr-1844
Address: Jocelyn St
Parish/District: DUNDALK
County Co. Louth
Denomination: Roman Catholic
Father: Michael Doyle
Mother: Isabella Doyle

This is the entry in the register https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000632582?locale=en#page/189/mode/1up
Thank you both. I do have them in Liverpool Census Records, it’s Michael’s Parents nor Margaret’s Surname I’m having trouble with. Isabella is their Daughter so I presume the other info: is about a different person.
Thank you for trying, much appreciated….
Hi Maddy,
I found the following bap record for a Margaret Isabella Doyle in Louth in 1811. Possibly it is Michael's wife and the mother of Isabella above.
Name: Margaret Isabella Doyle
Date of Baptism: 23-Mar-1811
Address: Wyanstown
Parish/District: TOGHER
County Co. Louth
Denomination: Roman Catholic
Father: Patt Doyle
Mother: Margaret Doyle

Note that the eldest Doyle child, Maria, was about 8 years older than the next child. It is possible Michael was married before and that Maria was Margaret's stepchild. Or vice-versa.
Thank you Patricia for your time and suggestions. I’ve just found a Marriage in a Parish Register in St Nicholas, Dublin City in 1837 between Michael Doyle and a Margaret Hayden, I’m not sure if their Parents are on it or are they the Witnesses. Next to Michael and Margaret’s names is,
Anna Doyle and ? Hayden, (I can’t work out the Forename) I’m going to see if I can find any more info or clues, maybe Im on the right track at last 🤞
