Thank you so much Eileen and Sandra.  What a great Christmas present!  Definitely my Alfred Newby Boyle.  Now, thanks to you both, I know his wife died before him and he had a daughter Sharon who married a Ferguson.  Christmas on a back burner for the next couple of hours while I digest all this new information!  A Very Merry Christmas to you both and, again, thank you so much for all your time and effort in gaining me all this new information.  
With grateful thanks - Zephyr
