It was Arthur Doyle and his wife Mary ... who made that move ... who got on a boat and left for a New World, for new hope, a better life. They (along with some of their adult children purportedly left Graiguenamanagh, Ireland circa 1820s/1830s and found themselves in Tyendinaga Township/Marysville, Ontario, Canada. Some (all?) of their children who also moved to Canada are: Charles, Owen, Bridget, Catherine, Martin, and Michael.
Five Fast Facts on Graiguenamanagh, Ireland:
1) You can try to pronounce it: Gráig na Manach (GRAIG-na-MAN-ah).
2) Graiguenamanagh means, "Village of the Monks."
3) Graiguenamanagh is home to a 13th Century Cistercian Abbey (now a parish church) known as Duiske Abbey.
4) Not far from Graiguenamanagh are the ruins of the medieval Ullard Church — which was founded by St. Fiachra (FEE-uh-kra) who later moved to France and became known as St. Fiacre (fee-AHKr). St. Fiachra/Fiacre is the patron saint of gardeners.
5) Graiguenamanagh has great hiking trails and one of the few remaining authentic Irish woolen mills, creating cloth from the fleece of Irish sheep (Cushendale Woollen Mills).
The Feast of St. Fiachra/Fiacre is August 30.

| 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.

The First Doyles to Leave Ireland for North America ... for "The Doyle Dining Room" Branch
It has been thought for some time now that Owen Doyle and Margaret Shaughnessy were the patriarch/matriarch who left Ireland for the New World. Some updated research using new genealogy indexes points strongly to Owen's parents: Arthur and Mary as being the true patriarch/matriarch! How fun to stumble upon one more generation who emigrated from Graiguenamanagh, Ireland! There is a lack of details on Arthur's amount of time in Canada, but he did make it there!
