Hi there,
yes we certainly have the same family!
Matilda married Richard Doyle on Dec 17, 1892 in Plymouth.
Richard was born circa 1868 in Cashel Tipperary - we have a few Doyle family members names, but no birthdates etc as you can imagine the Irish ancestry is a bit more complicated. Richard was in the Army so travelled a lot. Their children were born in St Austell, Nova Scotia Canada, Glasgow Scotland etc - we found a lot of this info when someone finally tracked them down in the Scottish 1901 census.
We have a few photo's of Richard but none of Matilda or any of the other Darke family members although when talking to my mil just the other day she thought she did have at least one of them together with Susan Darke.... 'somewhere'!
If you'd like to swap info, feel free to email me at
parsarnz@yahoo.ca It would be great to be able to pass this on to my mother in law as she is the only surviving Doyle of that particular family and was an only child.
Cheers, and thanks for the quick reply.
Sally
