Doyles of Bramblestown

Afternoon

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out.

Have you been able to find Margaret's death cert or place of burial in London? Sometimes it's easier to start with a death record rather than a birth

Hello - you may have this information by now as it's quite a while since you've posted.  Have you seen the book: A Hundred Years of Conflict 1756-1856 by Arthur Havelock Doyle.  I copied it from the following website a few years ago: http://www.archive.org/details/hundredyearsofco00doyluoft ; - this is from the University of Toronto.  It is 95 pages and I had to download it in text format - the pdf wasn't available.  This is what is says about Charles Doyle - . In the chronicles of the D'Oylys, however, it is stated that the Carlow Doyles, of whom Charles Doyle was supposed to be the senior representative, were descended from Thomas Doyle or D'Oyly, third son of Alexander D'Oyly of Ronten, 2  in Staffordshire, who in the seventh year of Edward III., 1333, was appointed to assess mines and minerals in Ireland, and whose descendants settled in that county. The arms bear out this theory, as they are practically the same, except that in ours there is a bordure or and azure ; and this came into fashion as a mark of cadency for a youngest son in the reign of Edward III., from the youngest son of the King taking the Arms of England within a bordure, instead of within a label, as had hitherto been generally done.  Let me know if you'd like a copy of this and I could email it to you.

In addition to the message which I posted on 12th January about the book A Hundred Years of Conflict about the Doyles of Bramblestown I must add that a few years ago Thomas Walsh from Gowran, Kilkenny had an entry in a book written on a History of Gowran in which he talks about this book:  A Hundred Years of Conflict and he states that I am a descendant of this family!  Although my ancestors were from the Gowran area, I am not directly descended from this family and I have never found any concrete evidence who my great great great grandparents' parents were.  My great great grandfather, Patrick Doyle was born in Kilkenny in c1801.  Two of his brothers, Richard and Nicholas and one sister, Margaret were baptised in Gowran, Kilkenny in 1809, 1814 and 1812.  Their parents were John Doyle and Ellen Shea (Shee).
