David When I was in Londonderry in 2005, I looked at these books for Boyds, so perhaps if your local Library can get hold of them for you on loan, it may help you. (Or you may need to contact the Londonderry City Library to see if they can give a list to consult.) Fighters of Derry, Their Deeds and Descendants, Being A Chronicle of Events in Ireland During the Revolutionary Period 1688-1691, William R. Young, 1932 The Siege of Derry, Patrick Macrory, (no date), Siege of Derry - 1689, Peter McCartney, 1983, I am sure that there woul dbe many other books on this subject.
