Information sought on Christopher Doyle

A call is out for information on a Christopher Doyle whose family lived in Kilcullen when he was a child, born in 1915. His grandson Richard Green is looking for any local information on the family.

Christoper Doyle’s parents were Thomas and Katie (Catherine) Doyle. Katie’s maiden name was Kavanagh and Thomas was in the army in Ireland in the General Service infantry. Thomas was born around 1878 and married Katie on 01/11/1906. In addition to Christopher they had four other children called John, Patrick, Thomas and Bridget Doyle.

In young adulthood Christopher worked as a farm labourer until about 1936 when he and a friend caught a ferry to Liverpool where they both signed up with the Irish Guards.

“While he was in Kilcullen he met and married Ivy Lucy Fitzgibbon and they resided in London until my grandfather’s death in 1953,” says Richard Green. “I am really hoping that someone out there will recognise some of this information and the picture of my grandfather which was his Army ID photo.”
