Can anyone identify a location: "Boyude, Berwick"?
The 1871 census at Swinton, Berwickshire, showed a couple:
John Brown, 37, Head, M, Whitsome, Berwick, Road Surfaceman
Elizabeth Brown, 37, Wife, F, Boyude, Berwick
Might "Boyude" be just a mistake, from someone's bad handwriting?
Elizabeth Brown's maiden name was Clazie. She was a daughter of William Clazie & Isabella Purvis or Purves, who lived various places in Berwickshire, as itinerant farm labourers. Her father, William, died in 1863 at Allanton, near Edrom; mother, Isabella, died in 1877 at Coldingham.
