Boyle Roche

Index Boyle Roche

Sir Boyle Roche, 1st Baronet (October 1736, as cited in Some sources, including earlier versions of the Dictionary of National Biography, give the date as 1743. However, since the later date would make Roche rather young to have served with such distinction — he would have been 15 at the Battle on Snowshoes (and already a lieutenant!), 16 at the Siege of Quebec and 19 at the capture of El Morro — the earlier date seems more reasonable. – 5 June 1807) was an Irish politician.
