Michael boyd, married 13 Jan 1874 age 21. I knew he died sometime 1889/1890 ish, and have found a ref on 1837 for JFM 1890. will be sending for cert. he was age 37 when died. However cannot find his birth. His death is reg Gateshead, and his marriage reg Newcastle.

also 2nd request. His wife Elizabeth Boyd (nee McGivern) married again to a Walter Hibbert and had 2 more children Elizabeth and Matilda. I have found references for the children's births, but cannot find the marriage.

Here's the second marriage: Marriages Dec 1891 Boyd Elizabeth S.shields 10a 997 Cowley Margaret Ann S. Shields 10a 997 Hibbard Walter S. Shields 10a 997 Hibbart Walter S. Shields 10a 997 Snaith Lancelot Hogg S. Shields 10a 997 I have not looked for the birth yet, but it wasn't compulsory until abt 1875, so maybe he wasn't registered? Which years have you already searched, and was that on 1837online? Sarah

wow that was quick. Have searched 1837 pretty much from 1850 to 1857. but maybe i missed it.

Ann, Have you found Michael in 1871 and 1861? Who was his father? Crista

No havn't seen michael 1861 or 1871. my michael was born 1853. his father was Isaac Boyd, and I cannot find him either. SCREAM

Thanks brenda... i found that one, but i don't know if that would fit as all rellies so far are from North east England. Might have to send for that one as a last resort., but will send for death cert fist incase there is any othe information there which might help. (don't spose there will be but you never know)

Now you mention Isaac as dad, i will post this which I dismissed earlier as the actual page says Boyer too: Ann Boyer abt 1845 Heaton, Northumberland, England Daughter Prudhoe Castle Northumberland Isaac Boyer abt 1806 North Shields Head Prudhoe Castle Northumberland John Boyer abt 1849 Heaton, Northumberland, England Son Prudhoe Castle Northumberland Joseph Boyer abt 1858 Gateshead, Durham, England Son Prudhoe Castle Northumberland Margaret Boyer abt 1816 Byker, Northumberland, England Wife Prudhoe Castle Northumberland Margaret A Boyer abt 1855 Gateshead, Durham, England Daughter Prudhoe Castle Northumberland Michael Boyer abt 1853 Gateshead, Durham, England Son Prudhoe Castle Northumberland Thomas Boyer abt 1842 South Shields, Durham, England Son Prudhoe Castle Northumberland Isaac, Thomas and John are coalminers and their addy is ''New Houses, Prudhoe castle, Northumberland'' Suppose would need to check if this is the WRONG family, by looking for Boyers on the later census records!! Sarah

omg That is amazing. and looks like it could be promising. I wonder if it is. I have been brickwalled by Isaac for so long.

I haven't got time to look properly right now, but looking quickly on 1871 for ANY Boyds Boyers or whatever, nothing stands out yet!! Maybe you could try 1881 on the LDS as it's more forgiving on spelling?? Sarah

i have found births for Joseph Boyde reg Gateshead in 1857, which sounds like the same one as your boyer, and also a Margaret Ann Boyd reg gateshead in 1856, and a death of an ann boyd in 1889 age 44, which is the right age for Ann Boyer if she did not marry. I cannot afford to send for the certs just now as I have just been naughty and sent for (cough cough) a few others (don't tell anyone).

This looks a possible Boyer, Michael Record Type: Births Quarter: March Year: 1853 District: Gateshead County: Co. Durham Tyne and Wear Volume: 10a Page: 419

thanks for that jim, i was wondering if it could be transcribed wrong there as i am really looking for Boyd.
