Family History Beginners Board / Re: Ivan BOYD or Sir Ivan BOYD
« on: Saturday 23 May 20 07:45 BST (UK)  »
Hello to all who have helped. Hoping you all are well.
I have 3 time periods where I can find absolutely nothing for Ivan BOYD.
What happened after 1927 when he retired from Bombay Police Dept. i.e. travel back to the UK?
I can find absolutely nothing between 1931 - 1946?
I have an address in Kensington but that is dubious.
Then from 1946 to 1950 when he died I have ZERO info on his location except he died at Knappe Cross, Devon.
In 1954 his wife died at West Terrace, Budleigh Salterton, Devon but there is nothing on him having lived there prior to his death.
Anything will help. Kind regards
BA

Hello Bearkat & Rosie99
Thanks again.
Yes I did get the probate notice but not the entire Will but don't if that is even possible.
I have the marriage information too thanks & will try FIBIS.
I wrote a snail mail letter to "the Manor House", Barford St John and received an email today from the current occupier. Fantastic to even get a reply. They provided a new lead to follow.
Cheers all

Hi & thanks for the opportunity.
I am interested and researching particularly Ivan Boyd's career in Bengal & Bombay Police in India between 1902 - 1930 who was a Superintendent & later Assistant Commissioner.

Many thanks

Hoping everyone is well.
It has been a while & things have progressed well but again a dead end has been encountered.
I am trying to establish:
1. When & how Ivan Boyd traveled to India in 1902 to take up his original police posting.
2. Anything at all after retirement in 1927 when he joined H.S. King & Co in Bombay.
3. When he left India and returned to England & by what means of travel.
4. Where he resided in England after his final return.
I do have an address of 26 Esmond Court, Kensington. S.W. London & his location of death in Devon.
Many thanks

Hi KG

Many many thanks for this latest info.
I was working on a couple of doubtful leads but this is of immense help.
I was beginning to suspect I would never get anywhere.
This is very gratefully received.
Cheers and stay safe
