hello
Primrose Mary Ramsey was born about 1890. Perhaps Ireland. In April 1914 in Dublin aged 24 she Marries William Thomas Boyd a Schoolteacher and they live in Limerick. On the marriage certificate her fathers name is given as James. Witnesses are his brother and a Maggie Ramsey who may be her sister?
I have failed to find Primrose on either of the Irish census returns.
Her husband died in limerick in 195o. address Enderley ,Ennen road , Limerick.
On ancestry i have found a travel record going to Durban in 1954 for a Primrose mary Boyd --with the same address as above. So certain this is the same person.
Would like to find earlier records for Primrose and when and were she dies. Still trying to establish if she had children.
Grateful for information.
Many Thanks

She married as Ramsay not Ramsey so maybe that is why you could not find her.

I'm not getting this at all, how is Catherine relevant to this topic?
Likewise your reply #8 regarding a son Frank Christian Boyd, below is the family in 1911 that the birth registrations you posted belong to, the parents and the children were all recorded as born many miles away from the context to date in Belfast / County Antrim, how are they related to the OP's query?

Tracking back on these parents, I can see a church marriage for a James Ramsay to 'Jamima MacMurtry Christie' on 22 May 1873 in Kells Presbyterian Church, Co. Meath, bachelor James was a Steward living at Screggan, Tullamore, the son of William Ramsay a farmer, spinster Jamima was living at Rockfield, Kells, the daughter of David Christie a steward, the civil record index reference is here:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FYQ9-DZH
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FYQW-FQ3
Turning to the more unusual name of the couple and bearing in mind the 'Scotland' birthplace in the 1901 and 1911 Ireland census returns, this Scottish baptism for a 'Jemima Mc Muctro Christie' looks promising: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VQQY-213
The 1861 Scottish census has a possible candidate... https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VBHW-VSQ ... living with parents David Christie (39 year old head gardener and forester) and Agnes and lots of siblings, the oldest sibling is 15, so parent's marriage maybe up to the mid 1840s, also a 77 year old James Christie in the household, possibly her Grandfather? The 1851 Scottish census has 29 year old David Christie with his wide Agnes and children, he was given as born in Kirriemuir, Angus - there is a possibility for him in a baptism for a David Christie at Kirriemuir on 10 November 1821 for parents James Christie and Helen McKinzie. Might be worth pursuing this information further on the Scottish section of this forum.

Gosh so much information to explore. thank you all very much. Unfortunately I didn't have the marriage and was going from information sent to me so apologies not to be able to provide more. I thought Tullamore was near Newcastle in the North of Ireland so got myself very confused.Looking forward to following up your leads .
Many thanks
