To be honest with you I dont know. I can only go back as far as my greatgrandparent on my moms, dads side. They would be Margaret Hill and Robert Boyd. I do know that Roberts mother was Julia because they always told my mom she should have been named after her greatgrandmother Julia  because she looked just like her. Her aunts name was also Julia. I will try to find out some more info from the family that still lives in Scotland. Good luck with your research,

My Uncle Bobby Boyd lives in Greenock and was 8 years older than my mom. Maybe he would remember more. Ask my mom for his address as I dont have it Good luck with your research.

I just talked to my mom and your mother was her next door neighbor in Chambers St. Her brother Tommy was my moms age Born in 1935. Martha was older and your mom was the baby. They lived on the top floor with 1 other family The Devlins. They shared an outside toilet. lol. They lived there during the war and experienced the bomb raids together. My mom really doesn't know much more she moved to Larkfield shortly after and lost touch. her email is (*) if you have any questions.

My mom Margaret Boyd  parents (William and Isabel Boyd) grew up on Chalmers St and went to Ladyburn. I know I have heard her talk about a May Harrison. I will call her tonight and find out what she knows and get back to you.

I live in The United states but was born in Greenock Scotland. My mother was Margaret Boyd born in Port Glasgow to William( Born in Dundee) and Isabel Boyd. My grandfathers dad was Robert Boyd and Margaret Hill both from Dundee. My Grandfathers aunt and grannie were both named Julia. Any connection? I know my family in Scotland is still in touch with family in Dundee. I visited with Greta and Margaret Boyd in Dundee about 24 years ago . If I can be of any help just ask.
