Event Note

When William was going through the process of becoming a citizen of the US, he said he was born in Boyle, Co. Roscommon. He may actually have been born there, or he was born in Ardmore Townland, Killaraght, Sligo, where his family was living in 1901. It is part of Boyle Registration District. Also the baptismal records for this family at rootsireland.ie look like they are in the Church of Ireland records for Co. Roscommon.
