Hi robytherob,

No signs of a death for James in Scotland, but I think your family did move to England. Rose still shows as married in 1881.

Address: 126 Green St, Liverpool, England
Rose Boyland, f, head, mar., 48, dressmaker, b. Ireland
Patrick ", m, son, mar., 29, window blind maker, b. Ireland
Mary ", f, dau., mar., 28, stay maker, b. Ireland
Francis H. ", m, grandson, 8, scholar, b. Scotland
James Joseph ", m, grandson, 5, -, b. Scotland
Patrick Ed. ", m, grandson, 2, -, b. Scotland

In 1891, Rose shows as widowed, so death between 1881 and 1891 for James. Only one between those dates for Scotland and it's not the right person.

Closest death I can find (agewise) in the period 1881 to 1891 is of a James Boyland aged 68 in 1889 in Pontypool, Gwent.

Hi Terry,

Although Rose shows as the head of household, it does not necessary mean James did not travel to England with them. He could be lodging with another family in Liverpool or even just working the night shift at the time of the census.
