His family consisted of: Isabella Boyd, age 9, born in Ontario Agnes Boyd, age 7, born in Ontario Gavin Boyd, age 3, born in Ontario Jane Boyd, 10 months, born in Ontario (wife not shown on census transcript)   Yolanda From: Mike Boyd <mikejboyd@bigpond.com> To: boyd@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, August 21, 2011 8:54 PM Subject: Re: [BOYD] John Boyd's family of Westruther, Berwick Scotland connected to Gavin Boyd and Agnes Trotter Are there any members of this list that are descendants of this Gavin Boyd and Agnes Trotter? The gap in the births of Thomas Boyd (1837) and Robert Boyd (1850) would strongly SUGGEST that other children were born to this couple.  So have any other researchers found any more children born to this couple? If any member of this list is also a member of the Berwick and or Roxburgh Net lists, they may like to post both mine and Yolanda messages to thsoe list as well.
