Member Since: April 2003 Posts: 6 Send Message	Hello you wonderful helpers out there this is a difficult one! My mother-in-law was Doreen Mary Doyle born Blackpool 1920 her parents were Gilbert John Doyle and Elsie Senior nee Wild she was supposed to be married to Doyle (re Doreen's Birth Certificate) all that I know is that he was supposed to be an Irish/American, but all my research has resulted in zero. Doreen was taken to Manchester as a baby, she was left to be brought up by a Mrs Fletcher. Doreen met her mother again in her teens. No idea what happened to Gilbert. Any info on Gilbert J Doyle would be gladly appreciated. Thanks Carole

Member Since: May 2004 Posts: 2,262 Send Message	Hi Carole, What's Gilbert's occupation on Doreen's birth cert?
Member Since: April 2003 Posts: 6 Send Message	Carole	Report	4 Dec 2014 09:17
Member Since: April 2003 Posts: 6 Send Message	Hi All, I do have Doreen's birth certificate, it states Gilbert John Doyle as ex Army, Trapeze Artist. Elsie was born in Yorkshire where she married James, they had a son Joseph Morris Senior 1915. James was killed 1916 WW1. Joseph was killed WW2. I think Elsie was working in Blackpool as a nurse/nanny, this may have been where she met Gilbert. Thank you for your help so far, I know this is a hard one!! Carole Address on Birth Certificate 43 Tyldesley Rd, Blackpool, also 214 Whitegate Drive.

	Carole, I've tried searching the 1911 census just using the surname Doyle and putting in a keyword such as Trapeze, Artiste, Circus etc. but still no joy finding him.
