Hi I'm looking for my father his name is james boyle and his mum stayed at coalgate road in tranent, I'm not sure if he or she still stays there but id be very grateful if anyone had any info for me thanks

Would you happen to know his mothers name by chance? There are quite a few Boyle families in that area.

And while Gem seems to know the area,
What country is this, and what part of that country??

I believe it to be a small town in East Lothian, Scotland.

Hi gem I don't know that but my mum thinks it could have been jean she can't really remember, he had one sister and he's round about 50, and I'm 26 if that any helps id be so grateful to you thank you xx

As far as surnames goes "Boyle" fits into the top 100 most common in Scotland. Any other information to link with your father, James Boyle, would be very helpful. Any idea of how long ago your family might have lived at Coalgate Road, Tranent?

Hi just noticed your question. I believe the boyles in question are not in this area of tranent anymore, but are still located in the town. I may know the family you are talking about. Could you tell me if your father has any brothers and sisters.
