Please can anyone help me find Thomas Boyd born c1808 in Ballymena area of Ireland. I have very little information on him apart from the fact he was a farmer and had a daughter born 1828 named Catherine who married Alexander McCaughey in 1849.
I know its not much to go on but I would be very grateful for any help or ideas, thank you.
