James and Margaret probably spent their first married years in Charlotte- wn. possibly living with Margaret's family. Life in Charlottetown at that time a far cry from today. There were no streetlights, for example, and the only t available to those travelling the streets after dark was thrown by windows 'th lamps within. Also, many of the ditches were open sewers, which erfiowed during periods of heavy rain. Needless to say,James and Margaret bably didn't take many romantic strolls at night in Charlottetown. The ung couple was probably delighted to hear the news that Catholics were en the right to vote in 1830, news they might have heard from the town 'er. Most likely they heard the news by word of mouth, since, like most irish igrants, neither could read nor write. The post office pictured in the sketch on the next page, was situated on ater Street, second house west from the comer of Prince. It was erected prior 1780, and although used as a post office for only a short time in the early 800's, the building was known to survive into the 1930's. In the early 1800's, list of those having mail at the post office was published in the newspaper. e name James Doyle appeared on several occasions. This mail could have riginated in Ireland, or perhaps in the Boston area. (James' obituary requests at two Boston papers publish the death notice.) According to a book entitled Pioneers on the Island, at very high tide e river overflowed the land very nearly up as far as the post office. This same urce, in describing old Charlottetown, says "Therc was a town well on many orncrs... wooden pump with wooden troughs for watering horses." (lirchaut
