Edward's first family

Edward Joseph Boyle and Ellen McCarthy were married in 1869. They had five children before Ellen died in 1875. These children were; Emily Phyllis 1870-1953, who married John O'keefe in Lismore in 1891; Hugh 1871-? ;  Anastasia T. 1872-1901, who married Henry W. Kelly in 1890; Nicholas, 1873-? ; and Mary Ann 1875-1965, who married John Macnamara in 1908. The eldest, Emily was only 5 years old when their mother,  Ellen died. Two years later in 1877, Edward married Lucy Ann Simpson, and in 1881 the family, now with 2 more children, Edward William and Ellen Augusta, travelled to the northern rivers and selected the property named "Tyrone" at St. Helena.
