I have just read your comments below. The Hays of Errol are mentioned and as we all know the 4th Earl of Kilmarnock, William Boyd, was married to Ann Livingston of Errol. After Culloden their son,James Boyd, changed his name to Hay to take the Earldom of Errol as the Earldom of Kilmarnock was removed due to treachery of his father who was beheaded after Culloden. The Hays of Errol are mentioned in the above book in Volume 2.

Damien This looks like a very good puzzle for us over Xmas. You said " Birth certificate for Robert William Boyd, 7th April, 1883, Ida Palmer, Queensland Originally gives father as John Boyd Saddler 24yo Aberdeen, Scotland " So was this original father "John Boyd Saddler" or John Boyd who was a Saddler by occupation? If the former, it may mean that she was still married to John Boyd Saddler/John Boyd when she married John Bamford , on 4th June 1883? I will print this out in the morning to see what else I can make of it and reply Mike Boyd -----Original Message----- From: eccles via Sent: Thursday, December 17, 2015 11:54 AM To: boyd-l@rootsweb.com Subject: [BOYD] Mary Elizabeth Boyd, b c1861 Dublin or Holyhead Hi all, I'm trying to track down a Mary Elizabeth Boyd that was born c 1861 in the UK before migrating to Australia, specifically to the Ida Palmer goldfields in Queensland. There are complications though - she isn't exactly straight forward on the various bits of documentation that I have, and I'm missing some critical things that would be useful. Birth certificate for Robert William Boyd, 7th April, 1883, Ida Palmer Queensland Originally gives father as John Boyd Saddler 24yo Aberdeen, Scotland - replaced 4 months later with 'Illegitimate' by registrar Originally gives mother as Mary Elizabeth Gleason, 22yo, b Dublin, Ireland - replaced 4 months later with Mary Elizabeth Boyd Marriage certificate for Mary Boyd and John Bamford , 4th June 1883, Ida Palmer, Queensland Mary Boyd, born Dublin Ireland 22 years old, parents William Boyd (Sea captain), Mary Ann Gleason I'm working on the premise that she lied on the birth certificate using her mother's maiden name.

I suspect the name rearrangement was to help her and her son remain hard to find. The details aren't exact the same from Mary Elizabeth Boyd to Elizabeth May Bamford, but the certificate for her son's marriage helps strongly suggest that they are the same person.

These details are a mash of some of the above, but her age has gone up a bit as well. I don't have any idea of immigration (though there is another birth of a John Boyd to Mary Boyd in 1882, so that probably sets a minimum), nor am I sure if she came to Australia on her own or with family. I'm I can't find any mentions of a William Wilfred Boyd as a coastguard captain (or even sailor). I'm inclined to believe the Dublin record about her birth, but that's partly because I cannot find any other record in the England/Wales births that looks right. If anyone has any ideas where I might look next? thanks in advance, Damien Moore

Does anyone know this James Boyd family? >From the book A Census of Ireland, Circa 1659, With Supplementary Material from the Poll Money Ordinances (1660-1661), Ed. Seamus Pender, 1939. COUNTY OF DOWNE BARONY OF LOWER EVAGH Parishes Places No. of people Tituladoes Names Eng & Scotts Irish Part of Sea Patrick Drumnovoddry 08 James Boide 06 02 Total Barony of Lower Evagh is in the NW corner of County Downe. With the 6 against the "Eng & Scotts" Column, this may suggest that James Boid had a family of 6 people. As I do not have the copy of the "Principal Irish Names [and] Their Numb." copied for this section, I can only assume that the name Boyd was not listed. (Ibid. p 92) I do not know this James Boyd’s origins. In another Family Chapter, I have a Joseph Boyd, who is said to have bene born in Dervock, County Antrim, but the family moved to the Banbridge area in hte 1700’s T1? Joseph Boyd, b / /173x ( , Ireland?), d / /18xx ( ), bu , m / /176x (church, town, county, etc), Elizabeth McClelland, dau of and (nee ) McCelland, b / /174x ( ), d / /18xx ( ), bu , and had issue:- [Lived: ] - (Source: (1) Michael Anderson & Larry Boyd, Anderson/Boyd Research., (2) Glin Bennet, Bristol England, Glin Bennet Files.) was born Bet. 1730 - 1745 in Dervock, Co. Antrim? /Poyntzpass, Co. Armagh? /Co. Monaghan?. He married ELIZABETH MCCLELLAND (Source: (1) Michael Anderson & Larry Boyd, Anderson/Boyd Research., (2) Glin Bennet, Bristol England, Glin Bennet Files.), daughter of FATHER OF ELIZABETH MCCLELLAND. She was born Bet. 1735 - 1750 in County Derry. "Notes for JOSEPH BOYD: According to the family genealogy provided by Glin Bennet, the BOYDS were of Scottish descent who settled in the town of Dervock more than two hundred years ago. Dervock is near the Giant's Causeway on the north coast of County Antrim. Some of the Boyds remained until the year 1875 when (according to the Bennet genealogy) the remaining Boyds left for Killarney, Warwick Lakes, Queensland, Australia. "It is not clear whether Joseph Boyd was born or ever lived in Dervock and if so whether he stayed. However, we know that Joseph married Elizabeth MCCLELLAND and according to the Bennet family history, Elizabeth came from County Derry, where Dervock is located*. So, Joseph could have lived in Dervock. However, we also know that Elizabeth's brother, Dr. McClelland, married a sister of Lord Blanney of Castle Blanney, County Monaghan. So, it is possible that Joseph and Elizabeth lived, at least for a time, somewhere in County Monaghan. We also know that William, one of Joseph's sons, wound up in Poyntzpass and that William inherited the McClelland wealth. We do not know if the brothers, Samuel, Edward, and Joseph, and the sisters, Rebecca, Nancy, and Elizabeth, lived in Dervock, left Dervock, lived in County Monaghan, or whether they ever settled in the Poyntpass area." * Dervock is actually located in County Antrim. In a Email to the Haplo Group A Boyd's on 3 October 2009 (see Email # 6 in CB09143R.doc) said:- "Regarding the Dervock Boyds, the best estimate of the arrival of the Boyds in Dervock from Scotland may be from a memoir of Elizabeth Boyd (from Glin Bennet of Bristol, England). Although there may be other interpretations of what she says, it looks like the Boyds arrived in Dervock 150 years before 1821, which would be 1671. See below. >From the Memoirs of Elizabeth Boyd, July 7, 1841 “An account of my family as far as I remember to have heard my Father tell me when a child 20 years ago. I am now 31 years of age, 7 July 1841. The Family some hundred and fifty years ago migrated from Scotland the time of the persecution and settled in County Antrim near Diarvock in the Upper Stroan. This was 3 Brothers William, Samuel and Joseph. I do not remember much about the 2 former of them. I think they died without issue. Joseph my Grandfather was 2 married, by his first wife he had one daughter when I saw her she was an old woman of 70 years of age and spoke of my grandmother in the highest terms she made no difference in her and her own children. I heard my Father say he did not know until they were grown up but she was his full sister she was a Mrs. Kinardy reared a large family who all migrated to America except I son Samuel who married and settled in the Stroan he not a particular nice man. Joseph Boyd married Elizabeth MClelland of County Derry by whom he had issue: Samuel Boyd, Edward Boyd, William Boyd, Joseph Boyd, Rebecca Boyd, Nancy Boyd, Elizabeth Boyd.” Regarding trades in Ireland at the time, William Boyd b. 1768 set up a tanning business in Poyntzpass that became very successful. He is buried in Poyntzpass. However, after exhaustive research, Michael Anderson and I could not find a connection to my Boyds. Now there were a slew of Boyds in that area. At one point, I thought I had found a connection between a large Boyd family from that area (I called them the Whiteside Boyds) and a living Boyd who lives in PA (if he is still alive). But, it turned out that this Boyd and I did NOT match on the Y-DNA test. I have a family tree for that large family from the Poyntzpass area that settled (relatively late) in western PA, if you would like it. If these Boyds were directly related to the Dervock Boyds, then the Dervock Boyds would not be directly related to the Haplo Group A Boyds (unless there was a non-paternal event involved)." So could this Joseph Boyd have followed other Boyd relatives down from Dervock to become involved in the Linen trade. In Dervock there were two separate Boyd families from before 1637 that had land there. One on hte east side and one on hte west sideof Dervock Thank you Mike Boyd

Barry >From other research, we know that Boyds were in 1) Rye, CT (now NY) in about 1683 - from a land purchases' 2) In NJ - I can't recall the date 3) Maryland in about 1683 p from a land purchases 4) Virginia - in 1641 or 1642, - from an immigration record 5) South Carolina in about 1685 - from a land purchase There is an 6th State - I think MA - bit I can't remember the date. I can't recall an James Boyd, pre 1700, starting a Masonic Lodge in USA, so he appears to be a new person. Oh, as Glasgow was the second most important City after London in the UK and as Glasgow was built on Tabaco and Cotton, this James Boyd might have gone to Virginia. One of the Boyds of Trochrig went to Virginia in the early 1700's So Virginia might be the place to start your search.

This era, the 1680's, and this place, Glasgow is the birthplace of what is modern speculative masonry. At this time however the lodges were just beginning to admit non-operatives (gentlemen who knew nothing about building in stone) This Boyd family of operative Masons begins in the ancient mist of time. The registry of incorporations in Glasgow begins, however in 1600. In 1601 we see Andrew Boyd as the Deacon of the trade. He was already old at this time and served in this office several time throughout his life and after him his son John took his place from 1616 until the 1640s. There was a Robert also, and a Robert the younger who both held the seat several times. In the 70's and 80's we see our John from this list and also his brother James.

Not a problem good to help. I hope Salmond is not connected to the Boyds. The man is this country's worst nightmare like the rest of the SNP He was our first minister until he lost the referendum last year, thank god. He resigned and became an MP in Westminster. He is known as Baron Greenback who was slimy toad in a cartoon Danger Mouse. Look it up on the internet. I can't stand him of his party as they have destroyed my beloved Scotland.

He was already old at this time and served in this office several time throughout his life and after him his son John took his place from 1616 until the 1640s. There was a Robert also, and a Robert the younger who both held the seat several times. In the 70's and 80's we see our John from this list and also his brother James. The last to serve as Deacon of the Masons of Glasgow was James Boyd in 1696. It is said that he carried a charter for a lodge to America. I have not yet found where that lodge was. There was several known operative lodges in America before 1717, all will Scottish charters. for this reason I think they came here about 1700 https://books.google.com/books?id=paYHAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA447&lpg=PA447&dq=John+Boyd+1650+Mason+in+Glasgow&source=bl&ots=NcbSh55yu_&sig=ulXIxP9HEm88571refGWdtaNKnA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjQqNTKlOHJAhXFLyYKHUqmBI4Q6AEIHTAA#v=onepage&q=John%20Boyd%201650%20Mason%20in%20Glasgow&f=false Barry in Dallas On 12/15/2015 3:49 AM, Mike Boyd via wrote: > Members > A member of a private group that I am on posted this recently > > This is from the book “The Scottish Covenanter Genealogical Index – (1630-1712), by Isabella MacLean (could not see date of publication).

Thanks John, It seems that at this time there was only one bighouse. http://www.ornaverum.org/family/waddell-balquhatstone.html Someone mentioned Salmond connection and I saw somewhere along the way that your PM Alex descends from a Boyd woman who lived there. Looks like this James Boid may have been a farmer "in" Balquhatstone. The other place I can't seem to find is Ruthwall. Could that be Ruthwell, Dumfries? this list has a James and John both b abt 1650, and a Mary b abt 1655.

Barry and list Some of these locations I know which I will indicate as I go through this list. However it is the list of references under the Notes that we need to get access to. So what are - "bk 23 vol 9", etc (and where can we find these?) 1. James Boid of Balwhatstone- Where was this? My first thought that this was a different spelling for Bolingshaw or Bonshaw. But now looking a second time, this does not look the case, so it is a new Cadet Branch. 2. John Boyd of Trochrig- this is odd to me. This is the third Laird of Trochrig. The junior family of the Boyds of Penkill. This John Boyd is THOUGHT TO BE BORN in 1612, as his son Robert Boyd was born in about 1633. Oh second thoughts. This John Boyd, if born in 1650, could be a younger brother to the fourth Laird of Trochrig, Robert Boyd, as the publications on this family only list those that succeed and not all the children of each of the early generations. I will send this and begin a new Email after the doctors Mike Boyd -----Original Message----- From: Barry Boyd Sent: Wednesday, December 16, 2015 1:22 AM To: boyd@rootsweb.com ; Mike Boyd Subject: Re: [BOYD] Fw: Boyd Covenanter in Scotland about 1655 Wow! Mike, This is a Great list. Where to start? I guess we should identify all of the ones we can. I will start by noticing that there are no Boyd of Airth on this list which fits since those who we think are their descendants were all Anglican. So, here is a list of known Presbetyrians, in Scotland prior to 1700. Chronologically by approximation of birth 1650 James Boid of Balwhatstone- Where was this? John Boyd of Trochrig- this is odd to me. John Boyd of Edinburgh, Midlothian. can we eliminate that these are the same John? John Boyd of Glasgow, Lanark- there are two Boyds of Lanark on this list John and William

Susan, Firstly please excuse me for the intrusion as you are probably a busy person. I short I have noticed your name pop up and that you have been researching the Boyds of Swansea. Of William and Thomas Boyd of Swansea William was my great grandfather therefore I am interested in his family history BUT i do not appear to be able get past square one and I am becoming frustrated with the procedure and I am wondering if you can assist me. In short, my grandmother was Maud Gertrude Boyd daughter of the aforesaid William Boyd and that is all I can find out. I know not who William married or any other info about the Boyds. I have researched other sides of my family without a many problems but I have come to stop on William Boyd of Swansea. I have absolutely nothing on him i.e. I cannot locate on the net who his parents were or when or where they came from prior to Swansea. If you have this info and are willing to pass it on then I woiuld be most grateful. The one interesting point that I have had passed on to me is that both William and Thomas streets in Swansea were named for the aforesaid Boyds. If you can assist by steering me in the right direction then I would be most grateful. Thank for taking the time to read this letter, Sincerely Warren Stoddart Mannering Park

Barry Not all these people would have been killed. I think it is more a list of those that had to take the Test or might have even refused to take it. I know some Boyds who were killed are not on this list. One being a Quinton Boyd, whom I found in a book in the Ayr town Library some years ago. >From an initial look, I WOULD QUESTION THE DATES OF BIRTHS AS WELL AT THIS TIME. I will need to look more closely at these names. However, this list does prove a new list of ADDITIONAL CADET BRANCHES.

Thank you for your note. I don't think I am researching the Boyd's of Swansea. My william and Thomas are from Ireland and Scotland. Then again...maybe that's my problem :-). I have hit a brick wall with them. Currently I am awaiting several books about the Cemetary's of Northern Ireland in the hopes that I might find a crack in the wall. I do have records for William and his family all in Scotland. I do t believe he ever moved out of that area in his later life. I have nothing on Thomas. If I can help you in anyway I will. I have been the receiver of many records from research experts who have helped with my Italian family so I know the benefits of sharing. I will be working more on my trees just after the holiday. I have 4 young children so I'm a bit overwhelmed right now with holiday obligations.

James Boyd of Trochrig, Archbishop of Glasgow, great-grandson of Robert Boyd, 1st Lord Boyd, and owner of an estate in Ayrshire, which is variously spelled Trochrig, Trochridge, and Trochorege. see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Boyd_(university_principal)

Members A member of a private group that I am on posted this recently This is from the book “The Scottish Covenanter Genealogical Index – (1630-1712), by Isabella MacLean (could not see date of publication). This website has four separate pages where Boyds are mentioned. All the Boyds seem to be dated 1655. I am not sure what other data is available from this Index or the references given. Or if there are family trees to these individual people. I will add this book to my 2016 “todolist” for when I go to Scotland (not sure of timing at this stage), but others might be able to tell tell us more about this source and if there are any other books on the Covenanters’ in this period of Scottish history. I look forward to your responses. Mike Boyd “I'm sure you have this and probably use it; but just in case, here is a Scottish Covenanter Genealogical Index. https://books.google.com/books?id=sTCGAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA219&lpg=PA219&dq=janet+margaret+geddes+covenanter&source=bl&ots=9xS-LPW3XJ&sig=qR_OrfITh3Skqq-eF39BmERa_bQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjLyZHu_9vJAhVM54MKHT_fAPEQ6AEIJDAB#v=onepage&q=Boyd&f=false one Boyd, Thomas, from Kilmarnock, 1655-ish many covenanters were prone to migrating?”
