-Arthur and Mary came from Graiguenamanagh, Ireland to Canada c. 1828 via Quebec and Montreal.
-Arthur was born in 1780 in Graiguenamanagh, Ireland.
-The 1861 census has Mary living with her son Michael and his family.
-Mary was buried in Marysville, Hastings, Ontario in 1869.

Doyle died in 1919 back in Canada, but his body was brought to Rochester, NY for burial (see below).
-Emma F. McCormack/McCormick Doyle was the daughter of Francis S. McCormick and Nancy McAdam McCormick; she was born in 1856 in Canandaigua, NY, and was one of about 11 children.

The Family of John Gordon Doyle & Mary Bernadine Daley Doyle

And the trail ends here for one branch of the tree ... John Gordon and Mary Bernadine had six children: Elizabeth, Eileen, J. Gregory, Patricia, Leo, and Michael. From these six children (who would be the sixth generation from Arthur and Mary), 25 grandchildren were born ... and countless great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren, etc.... The sprawl continues and continues!  It was the second child of this family—Eileen (in the striped shirt)—who felt inspired to record family memories and research extra details on this particular branch of Doyle Family history, creating The Doyle Dining Room Blog.
