| Fact | In 1858 several people visited houses and reported back to a British House of Commons committee on destitution in Gweedore on the condition of the people and properties seen in Gweedore and Cloughaneely. It was reported that Fanny Boyle (widow) had a bad house, appeared very poor and had no cattle. Another person visiting on the same day noted the number of people in each property. Fanny was one of 4 people at her place.

| Death | May 22, 1875 (aged 80 years) Age: 80 Address: Middletown, Gweedore Cause of death: Old age Cornelius Boyle was on the ship, "Lady Elma Bruce" which arrived in Sydney on 14 Jul 1859. When questioned by the Immigration Board he advised that he was the son of Cornelius and Fanny Boyle in Gweedore and while his mother was alive, his father was dead. Note: It's possible that Fanny died between 1859 when she was alive at the time of her son Cornelius' depa… It's possible that Fanny died between 1859 when she was alive at the time of her son Cornelius' departure for NSW and 1864 when birth death and death registrations commenced. However, Fanny shared land in Ardnagappary, which includes Middletown, in the 1857 Griffith's Valuation and death of an 80 year old in 1875 in the same area is also her possible death. A Nellie Boyle registered the death. Fanny had a daughter-in-law named Ellen, a name commonly known as Nelly which increases the likelihood that the death is Fannys. |
