Boyle Family from Glenties

Hi,

Boyle is very common in West Donegal especially in Glenties and surrounding areas - I also have Boyles from the early 1800's that I am stuck on.

I can recommend a few websites to check out and contact.

I wish you all the best in your research and I'd be interested to see if you find a Hugh Boyle in your search.  Unfortunately I don't have either a Manus or a Charles in my tree.

Kind regards,

Eimer 

Thank you so much for reaching out and giving me some places to look!  I am really starting to believe that I am close to a dead end.  I plan on traveling to Glenties this May and hoped to pinpoint an area to visit.  I just might have to enjoy all the sights!

Thanks again!

According to Griffiths Valuation there is one MAnus Boyle recorded in the parish of Inishkeel.

If you click on the Manus Boyle in the parish of Glenties you will get some info.  

The original ledger page will show you that Manus lived in Letterilly and that he lived in number 20.

Then click on the map and find the area.  

Here is an article that will explain it more for you. - http://donegaldiaspora.ie/news/find-your-ancestors

Hi my name is Dawn Bird, when you get to Glenties, can you keep an eye out for, especially any of the cemeteries I am looking for a grave in that area for Micheal Boyle died June 1886.
