Hi Janet
Have recently just read the Will of David Boyd and it's obvious he trusted greatly in his nephew Adam Skelly. The fact that Adam was also determined to rest alongside his uncle (despite the distance and undoubted expense) may tell us that they were very close indeed.
When I have the time, I'll sent a photo of their memorial:- my e-mail is:
