The reason for the discrepancy between birth and parish records is unknown especially as the registration was within the time allowed for registration without financial penalty.

| Death of a maternal grandmother | Fanny … May 22, 1875 (aged 15 years) Age: 80 Address: Middletown, Gweedore Cause: 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. |

John was the husband of Madge Duggan who was sister to Fanny Duggan who, with her husband George Whitten witnessed Bridget and Mary's younger sister Fanny McCOLE's marriage in 1887. |
