I have not had time to look for IGI records and must set aside the genealogy research as I have a busy day ahead of me. But, the census does show that they had many children. Yolanda Boyd I find it interesting that Peter Donaldson is working as a tollkeeper at the same place as his brother in law Robert Boyd (m. to Jane Gray) and they all live in Legerwood. 1851 Census From: Mike Boyd <mikejboyd@bigpond.com> To: boyd@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, August 21, 2011 10:26 PM Subject: Re: [BOYD] John Boyd's family of Westruther, Berwick Scotland connected to Elizabeth Boyd and Peter Donaldson Do any members of this list stem from daughter of Elizabeth and Peter? It would APPEAR that their daughter was called Euphemia Boyd Donaldson? Have I got that right. Again it would appear that other children were born to this could whom we have not discovered.
