Hello dear members, I just joined the parish to try and locate and confirm my ancestor Morgan Doyle (birth date 1765) possibly from Waterford county if I follow family verbai accounts. He imigrated to Canada and married Ann Power (another Irish imigrant) in 1787. Griffith's valuation show on match in Trinity Without Parish. I would like to confirm date of birth and parents names and any siblings. I am travelling to Ireland next month and hoping to visit the area of his birth place.

Thank you for any information that would help me in this search.

  • 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.
