I am just collating all the info together to try and make some sort of sense and a timeline story together.
Could it be that John Boyce and Betty / Elizabeth Hoare had an Illegitimate child in Margaret Hore Boyce 12 May 1784 and Baptised on 31 May 1784 t naming the father as John so they then got married shortly after on 20 June 1784 .
They then parted or divorced whilst she was pregnant with Edward.
When born 7 July 1792 Edward simply took the name HOARE as his mothers Maiden name because they were parted and perhaps John living elsewhere.
John Boyce and Elizabeth Hoare then remarried yet again in Wedmore in 1813 .
Because John Boyce and Elizabeth known also as Betty were remarried again , Edward Hoare started to make changes to his name and their children's names over to to Boyce.
Although he seemed a bit confused by this by 1845 they all seem to be called Boyce.
