Hi Delta59
Doing some searching and found your posting re Pitt Street 1841 Census
I have an interest in the John Boyd listed as Tailor, is this your interest? or could be one of the other Boyd's.  I am now living in New Zealand, but used to live in Heath Charnock, just down the lane to Rivington, 9 miles to Wigan.
Regards
David.

New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: John Frederick Boyd -1840s arrival?

I am trying to find out who John Frederick BOYD's parents were and when exactly he came to New Zealand. He was married in 1850 to Mary Ann POTE. He lived in Wellington, but in later life moved to Whangarei, where he died on 13 January 1900. Newspaper obit says he was 88; death cert states 85, occupation tailor. It offers no clues as to his parents, and place of birth is listed as England. A tree on Ancestry says London, but likewise no parental clues. I find a John Boyd born in London 1811, but baptised 1814, and the father's occupation is listed as a weaver, but that is a tenuous connection to say the least. There are around 14 other John Boyds I can see listed as being baptised between 1810 and 1820. It may be a long shot, but finding him on a shipping list may give a clue as to where in England he actually came from. Any help or suggestions most welcome!

Hi I am working on the family at the moment the down-line of his daughter Amelia who m. Robert Sutherland, and then Christoffer Thorbjorensen.
Be great to chat with you  :)
