Biographical Materials

 * 1) Looked for Boyle, Orrery and Cork in the Irish Archives Resource, which doesn't seem to have anything for these people at the end of the 19th century.

Questions and Notes

 * 1) While members of this extended family attended notable social events about this time, no other Boyle attended the Duchess of Devonshire's ball. Ginger (William Henry Dudley) Boyle — later Admiral and 12th Earl of Cork — could conceivably be this Mr. W. Boyle,
 * 2) Mr. W. Boyle is probably not Lt.-Col. Hon. William George Boyle, who was granted the rank of an earl's younger son, which makes the honorific "Hon" rather than "Mr."; he attained his rank as Lieutenant-Colonel in the Coldstream Guards.
