Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

your best option is the social security death index, which is at rootsweb!.com!.
Use the advanced search, and put "cook" in the county box!.
that gives 14 James Boyles!. What you will NEED is some idea of his birth date!.!.so you may be able to identify the death date, and from that, work for a possible obit!.
That is assuming that he actually died in that county!. For the entire state, there are 28 with the name!.
Check with family to see if you can come up with a solid birth date!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

You probably have!. I have some Boyle's in my family from the 50's I think from my Grandmothers side!. I think the name Boyle originates from Southern Ireland!. Your family are probably Catholic, I think Most families moved to Glasgow/America/Canada/ for an new way of life as it was difficult to get work in Ireland!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
