Stirlingshire / Re: Boyd Birth/Marriage conundrum
« on: Monday 11 December 23 20:18 GMT (UK) »
Hi folks and in particular @Gray865
I have just quickly read thru the last 4 pages but may have some rough info that will be of use, hopefully....
I rent one of the Byres in Crookedshields Farm and use it to store some old vehicles.
The current owner has had the property since roughly 1983 and knows nothing of its history apart from that it was owned by the MOD prior to him.
What may be of more interest however is the name Boyd.
A Boyd family still work all the neighbouring farmland (Crookedshields hasn't been a farm for about 50 years) but to my knowledge had no connection with Crookedshields. However they are mentioned on a local history page in relation to a tolbooth around a mile away from where the current Boyds do their farming.
