    3. These are the limited details that I have on this family. Do you know if there are any other children born to Thomas Boyd? And does anyone know if the daughters Jean, Elizabeth and Christina Boyd ever married or not O1 Thomas Boyd, b / /159x ( , Renfrewshire?), d / /166x ( ), died between 1 Nov. 1662 and 11th April 1665, bu , m 8/5/1617 (Church, town, county, etc), Helen Hay, dau of William Hay of Barro, and ???????, b / /159x ( ), d / /16xx ( ), bu , and had issue:- [Lived: ] - In The Hon Christopher Boyd notes for the Merton Hall family, it said that The Rev William Boyd's (P1) father was an Burgess of Glasgow and goes on to list 30 Boyd Burgess of Glasgow from 1630 to late 1600's. One of these is Mr Thomas Boyd, Minister at Eaglesham, 1638. In the 1981 IGI for Scotland, there does not appear to be any entry for Thomas's birth in the 1590's. These entries from the 1994 IGI for the UK (down to Margaret) would indicate some of the children of this Thomas Boyd. Eaglesham is about 12 kms south of Glasgow on the B 764 road between East Kilbride and Kilmarnock. Kilmarnock is only about 21 kms to its SW. It is in the middle of Montgomery lands. Elizat.

But I found this entry:- Thomas Boyd married Helen Hall in May 1617 at Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Batch number 7103225 serial number 62. I could not find any other entries in the 1994 IGI for the UK for an Helen Hall and again it will be necessary to look at the Film for this Batch number, to see if it may give any additional information. I will leave it to our hand writing experts to see if HAY could be mistaken for HALL. It would appear that Thomas Boyd [O1] had the following family from the above information. P1 Elizat. Boyd, b / /1618 ( ), Bapt 5/5/1618 (High Church, Glasgow), died before 1621, bu . P2 Jean Boyd, bc / /1619 (Eaglesham, Renfrewshire), d / 16xx ( ), bu , m ? [Lived: ] P3 Elizabeth Boyd, bc / /1621 (Eaglesham, Renfrewshire), d / 16xx ( ), bu , m ? [Lived: ] P4 Christina Boyd, bc / /1623 (Eaglesham, Renfrewshire), d / 16xx ( ), bu , m ? [Lived: ] P5 Robert Boyd, b / /162x (Eaglesham, Renfrewshire?), d / 16xx ( ), bu , m ? [Lived: ] - Could not see any likely entry for a Robert Boyd born to this couple in the 1981 IGI for the UK. Thank you Mike Boyd
