Looking for the birth of my gggrandmother, Suzanna Boyd, who was born in Oxford, England on Oct 14, 1808 and then emigrated to Canada where she married Frederick Hart in 1831 in either Quebec, or in Rouses Point, New York.
I would appreciate any help to find Suzannah and her parents.
Thank you

Hi Peggy
Oxford PRs are on available from Oxford family History Society on CD's.
I have just looked through the baptism index for your Suzzana Boyd within the 4 CD's which cover Oxford City and nothing i'm afraid. In fact I found only 2 Boyds and much later, marriages.
So I reckon you need to look now on the CD's which cover what are now the suburbs - Headington, Summertown, Cowley, Botley, North, South & New Hinksey, Iffley, Littlemore, Marston
Sorry i can't help more

Hi Carol,
Suzanna's gravestone says Susanna E. Boyd 1808-1892. Family records, unverified, say Oct 14, 1808 in Oxford, England. I have searched long and hard for her marriage record and for her birth but no luck so far. She married Frederick John Hart/Hert in 1831, either in St. Philippe, Quebec, Canada or Rouses Point, New York, USA which is a few miles away. Most of their children were born in St. Valentin, Quebec which is between the other 2 places. I have wanted to know her parents' names.
