    3. Good morning Listers, I am trying to find some roots for my Descendants and thought would ask for your help. My Descendant...WILLIAM JOHN BOYCE.........immigrated to Australia and I am trying to find out if in fact this is his family. From the 1851 census I found father William Boyce c1807....Newport, Pagnell, Buckinghamshire. mother: Elizabeth c1812.........Dunstable They had the following children: Ann c1838......Dunstable Betsy....c1842.....Dunstable Emma..c1848......Dunstable James. c1845......Dunstable Sarah... c1850......Dunstable And my Descendant who came to South Australia. WILLIAM BOYCE born c1836....also at Dunstable. I am hoping that someone on your list is related to this Boyce family and they could perhaps tell me if William immigrated to South Australia...he was married in Adelaide 1862. I have been searching for 3 years now and unfortunately the wedding certificate from Adelaide does not mention where he was born.....does not even mention his date of birth only that he was full age...which I presume was over 21 years. And it is a shame that on the certificate it does not mention his mother's name which might have helped me a bit more. And of course all the relations who could have told me are all dead. It is a shame that I was not interested in family research 20 years ago...but then I was busy trying to raise 5 children. I thought it was worth a try to ask on your list and see what happens. Have a lovely day, and many thanks, Sieglinde, Queensland, Australia.
