The Mary Boyce you mention (b? Feb 15 1861 ) - do you know who are her parents / spouse / children, etc? I'm not sure where she fits into the family tree.  Greenaway Wellington Boyce is my Gt Grandfather - so let me know if I can share any info with you....

             Not sure right now.  My database is down until early October.  Knocknamuckley baptisms have Elizabeth born 5-26-1861 to William and Jane Boyce of Ballydougan, but no Mary at any similar date. I'll get back to you when I get access again.

The information I have,is Greenaway Wellington born 1846,died in Invercargill NZ,20/10/1925.
I have a copy of his obituary.
His brother Walker Boyce,b1849,d1905 in NZ,is my Great Grandfather.

That makes us third cousins, Neil.  Have you done any updating of Gordon Asher Boyce's book and the family tree (as I am trying to do! I don't want to duplicate any good work that you have already done!)

[sarah]

I have only updated information in our particular branch of the tree.
Sadly no one else in my family seem interested

Found some pages from the Boyce tree of William Boyce and Jane Patton that was published. You asked about daughter Mary b 1861 and I found I could not type.  Mary was listed as Mary Jane b 1851, not 1861 in the tree.  Children I did not find baptisms for are  Beatrice (no date) and perhaps Johnstone b 1844  (was this  the John I found?)  However the book then lists John Herbert Boyce b 1845-6  died 1876 in NZ on Constabulary duty leaving 3 children.  Database not up yet.
