I would like to invite my 3xgreat grandfather John BOYD, and his wife Janet McMillan. I know very little about this couple, except that John was named as a Pilot on his daughter Elizabeth's (born Troon c1834) my 2x great grandmother) 1861 Ayr Marriage record. I'm guessing it wasn't Concord ???? - but it seems he would have been working out of Troon. As you can imagine, I have lots of questions for them, and would like them to meet their descendants! The Boyd surname has carried on down through to my Grandmother! Have a great Christmas everyone! ????????????????
