james doyle born 1885 kilmore quay

Where did your James Doyle marry ?

His civil marriage cert would usually show his father's name and occupation which could help narrow down possible matches, and a Catholic church marriage could include names of both parents. The marriage record may also include relations as witnesses - e.g brothers, cousins etc.
 

I've had a look through the birth for the Kilmore area in 1885 and a few years either side - no promising matches. The registration district for Kilmore would be Wexford (town) and the sub-district would probably Bannow.

There are two Doyle households in the Kilmore area that might be connected - one in Ballycleary townland, and the second at Ballyhealy North townland.  Both these townlands are located a short distance to the north east of Kilmore Quay.

oh thanks shanew147, as i read ballyclearly i think i've heard that place before although i could be wrong, wish i'd listened more as a kid. were these doyle households you found on the census? 

The Doyle households I mentioned are both from the 1901 census and were the closest I was able to find to Kilmore Quay. No sign of your James but one of these could be related - maybe James had already moved to Wales by then ?

I think it would be worth checking for James, possibly with siblings or even his parents, on the 1901 and 1911 census in Wales.
