Hi I'm looking for anyone who has Info on the boyds in Durham and Newcastle area. James boyd c1884 was married to Mary Kitchen. They had at least one child Robert Watson boyd 21/8/1911 in Felling who married Selina Drummond 25/3/1910 in Felling. James is as far back as I know and have little info on him so anyone who has any info would be most welcome.

Hi Suzanne,

Our family has Francis Boyd B1833 Ireland, came to North Shields, Northumberland (near Newcastle upon Tyne) married Mary Ann Wilson B 1836 at Tynemouth 1855, children Mary Ann, Isabella (my grandmother) Charles, Thomas, Robert, John & Ann Eliza. There is also a James Boyd born Blyth that keeps popping up in research.
Some of Francis & Mary Ann's children lived in Gateshead, South Shields in Durham.
Hope this helps,
Dianna
