Title: BOYCE Family and Cranbourne School
Post by: stonechat on Saturday 16 December 06 14:08 GMT (UK)

If anyone has Boyces around Winkfield or wants to know anything regarding early days of Cranbourne school, at which two of my Boyces were master between 1759-1824, see page on my website

Includes photos of Cranbourne Hall , which is scheduled for demolition

Hi Bob,
I have a George Ernst Boyce who married my great Aunt Elizabeth Fowler Swan in Durban, South Africa and they had 2 children that I know about: Robina Elizabeth Boyce and Eric Raymonde Wentworthe Boyce. Elizabeth Swan was born in 1871 so George must have been born around 1870.
Any connection?
Magi

You need to trace further back - do your Boyces have any connection with Berkshire?

Hi Bob,
Not sure where George Boyce hails from. Know he came over to Durban, South Africa and they lived in Durban. I was interested seeing the George Boyce and though there may be a lead.
Will have investigate further,
thanks,
Magi
