Susan, Firstly please excuse me for the intrusion as you are probably a busy person. I short I have noticed your name pop up and that you have been researching the Boyds of Swansea. Of William and Thomas Boyd of Swansea William was my great grandfather therefore I am interested in his family history BUT i do not appear to be able get past square one and I am becoming frustrated with the procedure and I am wondering if you can assist me. In short, my grandmother was Maud Gertrude Boyd daughter of the aforesaid William Boyd and that is all I can find out. I know not who William married or any other info about the Boyds. I have researched other sides of my family without a many problems but I have come to stop on William Boyd of Swansea. I have absolutely nothing on him i.e. I cannot locate on the net who his parents were or when or where they came from prior to Swansea. If you have this info and are willing to pass it on then I woiuld be most grateful. The one interesting point that I have had passed on to me is that both William and Thomas streets in Swansea were named for the aforesaid Boyds. If you can assist by steering me in the right direction then I would be most grateful. Thank for taking the time to read this letter, Sincerely Warren Stoddart Mannering Park
