The Robert Boyles of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada

I am researching my father's family. He was originally born in Markinch, Fife Scotland ion December 6, 1919 and emigrated to Fort William (now Thunder Bay) in 1957.

I have been able to trace the Boyle side of the family to Thomas Boyle who married Sarah Wilson in Stewartson or Kilaurs, Ayrshire, Scotland in 1847. I have not been able to find a birth or death date for him yet. I have also not found any information about Sarah Wilson.

Their son William Boyle was my Great grand father. He married a Margaret Girvan in Kilmarnock Ayrshire on October 19, 1875.
I do not have a birth or death date for him. I do know that Margaret was born in May 8, 1857 in St Quivon & Newton to James Girvan and Bridget Higgins. I do not have a Marriage date for them but I do have one of James and a Jean or Mary Spiers.

My grandmother's maiden name was Isabella Croll, born in November 16, 1883 in Menmuir, Scotland. Her parents were Beedie Croll and Catherine Henderson.
Beedie's parents may be Robert Croll and Mary Ross, though he is listed as a servant in the 1861 Census.
Catherine's parents may be Robert Henderson and Isabella Lyon.

If you have any additional inforamtion about my father's family I would greatly appreciate hearing from you.
