Boyce Plymouth - in despair!
« on: Thursday 24 March 05 20:58 GMT (UK) »
I just want to pick some brains as I've run out of ideas!

I've traced back through census, marriage and birth records, starting with James William Boyce b 1882.  His father is given as Salem Charles Boyce.  The 1881 census gives his place of birth as Plymouth Devon.  The marriage certificate of Salem Charles Boyce on 29 July 1872 (in Pill, nr Bristol) to Eliza Jane Paines gives his father's name as William.  The 1871 census in Pill gives his name as Charles Boyce (and they entered it twice!!).    Salem Charles is also recorded as Charles, Bricklayer in the Father details on his son Amos Boyce's Wedding Certificate, and as John Charles, Labourer on 1881 Census.  And interestingly I thought, until it was corrected, as Salome in the transcript of the 1901 census! - but born in Cornwall.

Looking at the Plymouth births for Boyce around 1840 only gives me Charles Samuel Boyce, father's name William.

I've found a marriage for William Boyce with Sarah Andrews in St Charles the Martyr, Plymouth in 1835 (I'm going on my memory for the marriage date).

Looking up the baptism record of Charles Samuel Boyce born in 1840 shows me that  he was baptised in the Salem Street Methodist Church in Plymouth, and the family lived in Salem Street.

I think he just forgot his first name, and then "remembered" the Salem part, rather than Samuel.  Does anyone have any ideas on how to decide once and for all, or should I give up?  An additional problem now seems to be that I can't even find any more details on his parents William or Sarah Boyce!

A real dead end (or beginning)
