How loved how valued once avail thee not

To whom related or by whom forgot

A heap of clay is all remaining of thee

Its all thou art and all the proud shall be

From the headstone of James Doyle d 1836

From musty old boxes, files and records dating back over 250 years, that have been collected by my ancestors - all of them thinking that one day they would do something with them, and never doing so - I have been trying to piece together my family history but I'm not sure that this project will ever be finished as I keep on discovering new branches to my tree. So far there are over 11,000 names in the various family branches, and the tree is still growing. 

There is murder and mayhem in these pages - with one old timer being strangled and burnt in the castle furnace and several have been executed.  There are a couple of Lord Mayors of London, a polite smattering of knighted gentlemen, castles and convicts.   I've tried to keep the information contained on the my pages as factual as possible without getting too long winded and too bogged down with minute details.

Ancestors - the best starting point.   Here you will find brief narratives of some of my ancestors I have researched so far
