Hi David

Thank you for your reply. I think I got Daniel Boys' date of birth from a match with another family tree - I have gone into it but not found any documentation that relates to his date of birth or age at death / burial. I am new at this so I may well have got this incorrect.

I have found a Kent Online Parish Clerks site that has 5 Boys family trees - The Godmersham family tree is the one my Dad originates from. There is a much bigger one from 1067 stretching to 98 pages which Lilian Boys-Behrens appears as a footnote on one of the pages saying she is a daughter - although it is unclear which of 2 brothers is her father. That line descends from Rev Richard Boys.

I have a Rr Admiral William Henry in the family tree I've put together, married to Charlotte Sophia Greenall. This couple appear in the large 1067 family tree as descendants of one of John Boys and Mary Harvey's sons (a separate branch from Rev Richard Boys), but I have a feeling I've mixed up 2 different William Henry's so I need to go back to look at this again. Otherwise I could find no shared individuals in the 2 family trees.

Best wishes for the New Year

Hi

Lucy Gambrill (Boys) is in my family tree as sister of one of my 5th degree direct ancestors, William. I started looking at this because we had a very detailed family history on my mother's side, but nothing on my Dad's side of the family. My Dad always thought our family were connected to Lilian Boys-Behrens / Rev Richard Boys, but I can't find any connection, and the furthest I have been able to go back to is Daniel Boys (1652 - 1727) and his wife, Ann. I'd be intrigued to know if anyone has managed to probe further back in history within this line.

With regards

Deirdre
