Your original post said Samuel's parents were Samuel Boyd and Mary and that he was Samuel George Boyd born 1896. More than a few things don't added up here.

Can you confirm this is the correct family?

Samuel Boyd, labourer, and wife Mary. Children: Robert James, Mary, Samuel, John H[enr]y, David.
