BOYLE, Patrick b 1826? Married Roseanna McGee? Father = Peter Boyle?

Mark:

I assume your family was RC. The RC records for Carlingford parish do not start until 1835. However, Cooley parish records in South Carlingford go back to 1811. Roots Ireland www.rootsireland.ie has an 1824 baptismal record for a Patrick Boyle in the Cooley RC records, however, when I entered Peter as his father's name the record went away which means that the father was other than Peter for this record.

I further checked the 1833 Tithe Applotment listing for Carlingford parish and found 63 Boyle entries including five Peter entries although there could be some dups. Since the name Boyle is so common in the parish the 1824 baptismal record above is probably not your Patrick.

www.titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie  

The 1854 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Carlingford parish shows many Boyle entries including a couple Peters. I recognize that Patrick had left. http://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths/louth/carlingford.htm

There were no McGee records but 11 Magee entries.

Finally, Roots did not have a marriage record for Patrick Boyle and a Mcgee or Magee.

Roger,

I am grateful to you for the thorough and amazingly prompt response! I was expecting my post to languish a few months and then be answered by a single sentence.   I appreciate your help checking the information, it makes clear to me which leads I have that are incorrect or incomplete.

I need to go back to my source material here to see where I went wrong.  When I have more information or more complete information, I will return again.

Thank you!

Mark
