The Boyle Sisters? More Photos!
Does this photograph from the 1890s show the four daughters of Michael Boyle? It's tempting to think so. We're pretty sure that Bridget Boyle is sitting at far right, and if we had to guess, we'd say that's Mary Boyle sitting at left and Rose Boyle in the center, with Ellen (Nellie) Boyle standing in back. But this would be just an informed guess. This picture is part of a batch we've received from Marilla Hoffmann, a descendant of Bridget Boyle. The photos were part of a trove apparently kept by one of Bridget's daughters, Mayme (Reddin) Devaney, and handed down to her daughter Ann (Devaney) Hosch. Ann recently passed them along to Marilla, who passed them along to me. To see this photograph and other family portraits from more than a century ago, check out this highlights page .
