Gareth I will send your Email to the Boyd Net list, as I am sure that someone on that list this list has a Boyd family in Camberwell. I have just spent a hour or so trying to find them with out any success. Hopefully, I can short cut the process by posting to the whole list. Mike Boyd Historical committee, HBS From: Gareth Arscott Sent: Sunday, February 16, 2014 5:46 AM To: Mike Boyd Subject: My connection to the Boyd of Kilmarnock Hi Mike Sort of doing this in reverse, so please bear with me. I actually have two connections to this Boyd line. 1 Amelia Maria Boyd married Jules Charles Francois Ramel 04-10-1871 in Camberwell, London. Her father was Edwin Boyd baptised 25-09-1826, mother Amelia Lewis born 1825. They were married 11-07-1846 in St.Pancras, Middlesex. Edwin's father was Charles Boyd and mother Maria (Family name unknown). 2 Julia Ann Boyd married Francois Ramel 12-08-1834 in St.Marylebone, Middlesex. Her father was Charles Boyd and mother Maria (Family name unknown). Julia is Amelia's aunt. The Ramel's were connected to the Bruce's, my mother's mother's family. On Amelia's marriage record it states that her father employment was HM Customs. And I believe is the Charles Boyd of "H M Custom's House" fame. He is shown in the 1871 census living with his son, and being born in Nova Scotia. This matched the information in the will of Major Charles Boyd who died in Jamaica. As discussed with you before. Major Charles's will outlines that his son was born in Nova Scotia and this is supported by the census reurn (I believe 1871, I am trying to lay my lands on this, it is somewhere!). His mother is not known. I doubt if she is the "French Lady" Jeanne Antoinette Wyandt. We can place Major Charles Boyd and Jeanne Antoinette Wyandt (Boyd) in Aberdeen in 1773 according to Boswell and Johnson. He appears to have left Scotland for Nova Scotia. I have a link to a document https://archive.org/stream/cihm_48351/cihm_48351_djvu.txt "Historical record of The Twentieth, or, The East Devonshire Regiment of Foot" It describes the "20th Regiment" that leaves Nova Scotia in 1792. It mentions later the deaths of a number of officers in Jamaica, one being Major Charles Boyd. Notes from yourself posted on Rootsweb support this: "Entered the British Army, 10 November 1773, as ensign 1st Battalion 1st Regiment of Foot, lieutenant same regiment 18 April 1776, captain 82nd Foot 6 January 1778, major 76th Foot 7 March 1784, major half-pay on the disbandment of the regiment 8 March following. After his wife's death he returned to active service, being appointed major 20th Foot 9 December 1789." Charles "of HM Customs House" appears to have married Isabella Hyde 1807 (and divorced by 1815). One witness is Anne Boyd, I believe this to be Anne Lockhart, his step-grandmother as described in Major Charles will. She dies in 1826. This is a brief summary of my connection to the above. Yours Gareth

We have just heard that Mary's Thomas was a shoemaker. I'm interested in Robert the glover(!) and William the manufacturer who settled in Turrif. What was he making? It would appear that his brother James was acting as his agent in Passamaquoddy and Errol (who I assume to be a son of William) is described as a shoemaker in his discharge papers: Errol Boyd, born Kilimarnock, Ayrshire, enliste - http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/boyd/2006-01/1138175341 Date: Wed, 25 Jan 2006 07:49:01 -0000 From: "Martin Wood" <> *31.

There were four brothers and I'm fairly certain that they were the children of John Boyd (of Kilmarnock) and Grace Kerr (m 1747). It has been suggested that John was the son of Robert Boyd and Margaret Thomson of Kilmarnock about whose linage, as you know, there has been some dispute!
