First-born child ofJames Doyle and Margaret Lacey. Margaret Doyle was born in 1829. She lived on the farm at Doyles Point with her family until 1852 when she married John Driscoll at St. Dunstan's church in Charlottetown. (John's father had died in a fall from the mast of a ship in 1832.) Her father and a hdy named Bridget Cary were witnesses. This rmrriage took place in the new wooden cathedral begun in 1843. It was to serve the Diocese until a new stone cathedral was completed in 1907. A photograph of this church and the bishop's palace is in the photo section.
