Hi Dianne, Sorry about the delay in answering but these things happen I guess. From the info you have forwarded to me I cannot see any connection at all BUT I do not seem to be able to get beyond where I am now with my Boyds and if I eventually do and I see a connection I will get back to you. I have you address on file. Cheers WArren Stoddart Lake Macquarie NSW. I will do some more research on these two Boyd brothers and if I see a connection I will get back to you.
