My Name is Terence Stanley Boyd (born 1st May 1946) and I live in Western Australia, my Great Grandfather (James Balinger Boyd) came to Australia in about 1851 I have traced my family since then but he was born in Holborn in London in 1827. Can any of the Boyd Clan help me with his arrival in Australia as I cannot find his arrival date. Terry Boyd

Terry welcome to the net list. What sources have you looked at? And in 1851, did he come to WA or to one of the eastern states? And as he was aged 24 years old, did he come with any other family members? As you say he arrived in 1851, that sounds like he came into Victoria for the Gold rush. so you may need to look at passenger list for Melbourne, Geelong or even Portland in Victoria. I can see that his parents are listed as James Boyd and Jane. Holborn is between Trafalgar Square and St Pauls and I could see at least three other Boyd families in the 1820's there and they seem to go back to the 1750's. There are a number of Boyd families in London going back to 1604 or earlier.
