Hello again, Sandy. I forgot to send info found on children. The only defininte find was William Hubert Boyd in 1869-Rathdown Registration Office Vol. 2 Pg.1026 LDS # 0101181. In 1865 there were 9 John Boyds, none in Co. Monaghan nor any in Rathdown. Here are the references: Belfast v.1 p.283 " v.1 p.399 Ballymoney v.1 p.199 Larne v.1 p. 605 Belfast v.1 p. 350 Londonderry v.17 p. 190 Antrim v.16 p. 22 Newtownards v. 16 p.810 " v. 6 p. 962 The film #'s are: v. 1 0101220 (1864-5) v. 1 0101100(1865) v.6 0101105 v.11 0101110 v. 17 0101116 v.16 0101115 I couldn't look up Thomas as luck would have it, that page was missing from the index.
