What I was questioning was that you said Henry Boyd was born 1791 and his brother William married in 1851.

As was the case at that time many children were born. David Boyd had 2 wives. The first Margaret Blackwood who is Henry's mother. She died around 1800 and David remarried Agnes McNeilly. She was much younger than David. They had 7 children that I know of and the youngest was William My GG Grandfather was born 1821.

In my own family, my mother and my older sister both gave birth a few days apart in the same year.
In big families this happened.
