A few days after I ordered the birth record I anticipated it might not be the one I hoped it would be when Dara of Black Raven Genealogy reminded me that one can search the U.K. GRO website. I find it cumbersome to use but it can serve a purpose when one becomes more familiar with it. I searched for the record I ordered, for William Doyle, born 1863, and learned that his mother's maiden name was not Laws. Below is the record I ordered and received.
In an effort to make both records for the births of two different babies named William Doyle available for anyone who might want them, I'm posting copies below. I hope some other family historian in search of either of these individuals will find this post, thereby saving him/herself £6.00 (or more, if the prices go up).
This first record (the second one I ordered) comes from GRO, Year 1863, Volume 10A, Page 537. It is for William Doyle, born March 20, 1863, in Sunderland, Monkwearmouth, Durham. His parents were Thomas and Sarah (Johnson) Doyle.
This second record (the first I ordered) comes from GRO, Year 1861, Volume 10B, Page 60. This William Doyle was born December 9, 1860, to Patrick and Mary Ann (Quin) Doyle, in Newcastle upon Tyne, Northumberland.
Please help yourself to this record if you are a descendant or relative of either of these two Williams. If you would like the PDF, please email me and I'll forward the document to you.
My mission to find information about the birth of William Doyle, son of Andrew and Elizabeth (Laws) Doyle, born about March 3, 1863, continues.

It's so nice that you're making a positive outcome for such a frustrating (and costly) situation. I really hope someone finds these records useful after you've so kindly made them available. I do hope you find your ancestor.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tim. I'm finding that these Doyle ancestors are becoming expensive research characters -- and only a few generations back! With you, I hope someone finds these records and that I find my ancestor William Doyle's birth record.
DeleteHappy 9th blogiversary, Nancy! I enjoy your blog - hope you have many more.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda.
DeleteI know just how you feel Nancy, I'm going through the same thing with Thomas Connor from the vicinity of Listowel CO Kerry. Hope you find your man.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to learn others go through similar challenges, Ellie. I hope you find your man, too!
