Death of Mrs. A. A. Doyle
ANOTHER notable Fiji pioneer, in the person of Mrs. Amy Alice Doyle, has passed away, at the age of 71. She was born in Levuka, and was the daughter of Mr. C. H. H. Irvine, QC, who was At torney-General in the then infant Colony.
Her mother, whose maiden name was Alice Louisa Thorpe, went to Fiji when a child of only 13. She married Mr, John Carton Doyle, a planter, of Nadi, Fiji,
and among their six children were Mr.
Cyril Doyle, of Kessa Plantation, Buka, New Guinea; Mr. F. H, Doyle, of Glen Innes, NSW; Misses Aileen and Essie Doyle, of Roseville, Sydney; and Mr. H.G. (“Tiki”) Doyle, formerly of Kavieng, TNG, who was among those lost in 1942 on the prison-ship “Montevideo Maru.”
The Doyle family left Fiji in 1921 to settle in NSW. Mr. Alec Hamilton Irvine, of Sigatoka, Fiji, is a brother of Mrs.
Doyle. The MV “Corabank” loaded over 1,200 tons of copra at Rotuma for the United Kingdom, in March.
