John and Margaret Doyle are my fourth great-grandparents. I know their birth years, but not their birth dates.

Question

John Doyle was born about1799

His wife Margaret Doyle (maiden name unknown) was born about 1801.

They were both raised Roman Catholic.

The date on which they arrived in the U.S. via Boston, Massachusetts was on April 15, 1825. It was before the potato famine.

 Would you help me look for them?

Answer 1

The number of John Doyle individuals, born in Ireland, with Margaret as a spouse is beyond imagine. As a suggestion, I would recommend that you begin with yourself, if you haven't already, then with your parents, your grandparents, your great grandparents, etc., all in that particular line, obtaining their birthdates, and places. This should help you narrow the possible dates and places of birth. Use census records, especially after 1850. If their children were still alive in 1880, pay particular attention to the birthplace of their parents. Good luck!
