Hi Tracy, I can't answer your questions, but I know you have Boyce branches in Co. Waterford where my 2nd great grandfather was born in 1810 and his son ended up in Bannow, Co. Wexford married to a Browne where they had my grandfather in Brandane in 1870, the connection perhaps coming from military service with one of the Boyce's. As you work through your lines, please watch for a Gard(i)ner that might show up.
