Hi Ray,we do have an interesting problem. My gut feeling is that Thomas was born in 1827 even though the ages are not accurate on the certificates. The parents are correct and match everything else we know about them. I also found a John Boyce, born April 1829, parents John and Jane. But John's death certificate has his father John and his mother as Sarah. I'm not sure that is accurate as the information is provided by a third party. I can't find any records of a John Boyes or similar name with a father John and a mother Sarah, so I feel the John Boyce is our John. Also John has a son Humphrey which points towards his mother being Jane Humphrey. I'm not sure where we can go to confirm this as the Yorkshire census returns are not all transcribed yet. Pity I am in Melbourne and I can't just go to the Churches to look at their full records.
I haven't seen the book about Leneva but I will look out for it.
Happy searching, I would love to hear anything else you find. I'll be in touch if I learn any more.
Happy Easter Marion
