Hi Mike,   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   1841 Census      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 Name Relationship Condition Age Sex Occupation Birthplace Gavin Boyd Head Married 37 M Grocer Berwick, Westruther Agnes Boyd Wife Married 37 F Grocer's Wife Berwick, Westruther John Boyd Son Unmarried 15 M Carpenters apprentice Berwick, Westruther Thomas Boyd Son Unmarried 13 M Grocer's Son Berwick, Westruther George Boyd Son Unmarried 11 M Grocer's Son Berwick, Gordon Mary Boyd Daughter Unmarried 7 F Grocer's Daur.
