Henry Boyd Family >Co Down, N. Ireland>Scotland>Ohio

The exact birth date and place where my g-g-grandfather, HENRY BOYD was born has not yet been established but my estimated guess would be about 1844, and according to family, he was born somewhere in Ireland. His first two children's birth records state that he married MARGARET CUNNING August 1863 in County Down, N. Ireland. His second two children's birth records state that he married MARGARET CONNOR 02 Oct/Nov 1865. Further research is necessary to determine if Margaret Cunning and Margaret Connor were actually the same person. The family moved to Scotland sometime between 1865 and 1868.

1) CHRISTINE BOYD born 1865 in Grey Abby, County Down, N.Ireland.     Married Michael HUGHES.
