Hi Pete, The only BYERS we have is my husband's grandmother who died, we believe, in Carlisle England in sometime between 1911 and 1915. Her name was Mary BYERS and she was married to David BEATTIE, a shepherd. We are just beginning our search and have no other information except these birth/baptismal records for their three sons collected by a kind lady in Carlisle. St Cuthbert's Carlisle. >Baptism >Robert James Beattie parents David and Mary (Byers) Beattie abode 12 Kings Arms Lane, Carlisle (Shepherd) born Dec 4 1907 baptised 19 Jan 1908. > >Thomas Leslie Beattie details as above born Dec 9 1909 baptised 20 March 1910 [died 1958 in Cochrane AB]. > John Beattie parents as above address 3 Boustead Lane, Carlisle (Shepherd) born March 4 1911 baptised 19 Nov 1911 [died 1958 probably in Dalry]. My husband is Thomas Leslie BEATTIE's oldest son. We are tracing Thomas right now because we believe he was a Home Child. I'll keep your address and if we run across any BOGGS connections, will let you know.

My wife is an ancestor of a John Boggs Byers. Does anyone have a Byers out there with a Boggs connection, I figure Boggs is a maiden name of his grandmother or another relative but have found no connection. Thanks, Pete
