My Great Great Grandfather was Archibald Boyd 1791-1829 who was a Feuar in Largs and lived on Nelson Street.
My other Great Great Grandfather was William Maccall who was Postmaster in Largs in the 1830’s. Both are buried in Skelmorlie Aisle cemetery. My Great Grandfather was John Boyd 1822-1873 and was a draper & clothier in Main St. His sister Christina married James Caskie.
My Grandfather John Hendry Boyd 1867-1939 was a glass & china merchant. His brother William Maccall Boyd 1866-1941 was medical practioner in Largs. His son John Boyd died in 1980 and is buried in the family grave in Haylie Brae cemetery. William’s other son, also William Maccall Boyd, died in 1998. He had three sons, William Boyd b1946, David Maccall Boyd b1948 and Douglas Norman Boyd b 1952.
It is these three sons that I would like to contact and also any relatives of John Boyd who died in 1980.
If you can help it would be very much appreciated.
