That would be wonderful, Joan - here's the info I would like to confirm: David Boyd, born December 22, 1843, Tonynumery, Co. Monaghan, Ireland - Father: John Boyd - Mother - Matilda Woods Jane (or Jean?) McCrudden, born December 23, 1845, Killylaragh, Co. Monaghan - Father Thomas McCrudden - Mother - unknown Marriage: David Boyd and Jane McCrudden married Feb 9, 1865, Dernalosset, Ireland Children of this marriage born in Ireland: John Boyd, December 22, 1865, Glaslough, Co. Monaghan, Ireland Thomas Boyd, June 7, 1867, Glaslough (or possibly Dernalosset) Co. Monaghan, Ireland William Herbert Boyd, August 29, 1869, birthplace unknown Is one able to identify possible siblings (I'm looking for those of David Boyd in particular) from the index? (Not sure how much detail the index would give you) Appreciate your time and efforts - Where are you? I am in Northern Alberta, Canada and do make the odd trip to Victoria, British Columbia - so if I can be of some assistance, I'd be only too happy. Thanks, Sandra Whittaker "Joan M.
