Summary

Margaret Boyle Gallagher was a sister of Rose Ann Gibson and the wife of William J. Gallagher. The article places the couple with Margaret’s parents, William and Hannah Boyle, in 1880.

Evidence and limits

Open questions

  • What was Margaret’s complete marriage and family record?
  • Who was the unnamed daughter in the 1880 household?
  • Are the William and Hannah Boyle records connected to other Boyle articles?
