Hi, My computer seems to not like the way I have cut and pasted the information in the emails I sent earlier.  So, I am retyping the information on these emails so that it is easier to understand.  Sorry to flood your inboxes!   Yolanda Yesterday I sent you information about the family of Gavin Boyd who moved to Hamilton, Ontario and was found in the 1871 census.  I searched the 1841-1861 census records at http://www.maxwellancestry.com/census/61search.aspx (free census records, but limited areas) and found Gavin Boyd and Agnes Trotter only in the 1841 and 1851 census.  So, this family may have emigrated before 1861.   Yolanda Boyd   In 1851, Gavin and Agnes lived 2 households away from his sister Isabella Boyd and her husband Robert Jeffrey   1851 Census County Name Berwickshire Parish Name Westruther Town/Village Westruther Address   Enumeration District 1 Enumeration Page 2 Schedule Number 8 Gavin Boyd       Head        Married       37        M       Grocer                        born: Berwick, Westruther Agnes Boyd      Wife         Married       37        F        Grocer's Wife              born: Berwick, Westruther John Boyd         Son          Unmarried   15       M        Carpenters apprentice born: Berwick, Westruther Thomas Boyd    Son          Unmarried   13       M        Grocer's Son               born: Berwick, Westruther George Boyd     Son          Unmarried   11       M        Grocer's Son               born: Berwick, Gordon Mary Boyd        Daughter  Unmarried    7         F        Grocer's Daur.             born: Berwick, Gordon Gavin Boyd        Son         Unmarried    5        M        Grocer's Son               born: Berwick, Gordon Robert Boyd      Son         Unmarried   6 m.     M       Grocer's Son                born: Berwick, Westruther R.
