Help with tangled family tree - Samuel Boyd Belfast

[Cboyd13]

I tried to find David’s birth and couldn’t at start we didn’t know my grandad had a first wife and who he was but ancestry linked us with the grandchildren of my grandads other children from first marriage which joined that dot.

Let me download the pension record again I just have a screenshot I took some time back but didn’t see anything on it

My mum remembers her Aunt Minnie and Aunty Annie visiting Scotland but can’t remember her surname I have asked

[Cboyd13]

No alias just William McClurg on pension record

Minnie re married received a remarriage payment

Children’s pensions

Anne Eliza Boyd DOB 20th feb 1909 until 20th Feb 25


Samuel Boyd DOB 14th June until 29

Mary Agnes DOB 20th Jan 15 until 31

Who knows how the got away with it if that’s the rules

[Cboyd13]

Something I hadn’t noted before Williams Date of birth 7th Deb 1888

[Cboyd13]

Found the case result of the bigamy trial he was let off to get his own judgement when called. Judge referred to Minnie having a baby in her arms in court and any punishment would be passed to her and.

No mention of the fact he used two names though

[Cboyd13]

Found this

Annie McClurg alias Henderson she was accused of stealing money 20th October 1937

[Cboyd13]

Found Annie’s birth certificate registered Eliza Anne correct date of birth mother and father down as McClurg mothers maiden name Boyd
