Hi Deirdre
No I also have come to a grinding halt with Daniel Boys/Ann Theobald of Lynsted.
Where did you get his birth as being 1652, according to his burial details he was 91 when he died which would make his birth date approx 1636.
I have found in the Canterbury "Strangers Church" Baptisms details, an entry for Daniel du Boys baptised 1593. He came from a huguenot family that escaped persecution and I presume settled in Kent. Some huguenot families are said to have settled in Faversham which is a neighbouring town to Lynsted.
I have also traced Lilian Boys Behrens family as I believed she was in someway related to my family line, she visited my Grandfather at one time.

Have a good Christmas and a happy New Year

Hi Derek,
Welcome to the forum
As you can see from above I am stuck trying to find a link between the families noted in the mentioned book and my direct line.
Does your Boys Family Pedigree show descendants of Thomas Boys and Margaret Honywood children, namely John (2nd son ), Vincent (b Dec 1607 ) and William ( b May 1612 )
Of the pedigrees I have, only seem to deal with family lines of note.

Look forward to a fruitful exchange of info

Hi
While at astandstill in my own research I thought I would have a look at Thomas Boys Morris.
Ancestry did not help much but to date www.familysearch.org did provide some info which I have provided in the attachment. If I have seen the correct father and mother for Thomas Boys Morris then there is an issue with parents marriage date and Thomas baptisim date


Hi Susan
I think the Lynsted Daniel Boys looks about right as far as the given years go and his children names seem to have carried onto his son's children names.
I will have to wait until the new Kentish Studies is opened in Maidstone or the Canterbury Archives building to be finished, before I can make closer checks

Hi Susan

My line is supposed to descend from Thomas and Thomazine Boys (1508) I took an interest in Robert Boys as  he is also descended from this couple.
According to my book the Bonnington, Hythe, Mersham, Willesborough, Uffington, Betzhanger Tenants, and the New Zealand branches start from this couple. The book was published in 1926 and the author was Lilian Boys Behrens. She gave the book to my father and other members of the male members of the Boys Family close to her.

The difficulty I have is connecting my immediate line to that of one of the branches mentioned above, it was quoted in an obituary I have that it is the Willesborough branch but as yet i have not made the connection.
So far I am up to Daniel Boys who married Mary Page in Crundale (1711) and lived in Molash  with their children.

Regards
Dave

Hi All
Many thanks for the welcome and the reponses to my original message.

In my message I mentioned a book I have called  "Under 37 Kings". To those interested in tracing the Boys Family as far as 1066 I have found a source for the book. It is on a CD in PDF format and obtainable from www.timelessgen.com for $15. This is not a sales pitch for the site, I searched for a long time to find a copy of the book to give to my brother. The book itself went out of print and the secondhand ones are expensive.

Thanks to AJ who put me onto the Walmer line I found Robert Boys & Mary Friend and found the line that goes all the way supposedly to 1066. I found some info from an online book called "Records of Walmer"that can be downloaded in PDF form from http://www.archive.org/details/recordsofwalmert00elvi. The rest came from a pedigree chart in  my book mentioned above.
I can send the chart to you once I have worked out how to do it in RootChat

Thanks AJ
at the moment my immediate family line seem to be centered around Godmersham and the ajoining parishes, if it looks like straying out to Deal or Walmer then I would appreciate your help.

I have this book "Under 37 Kings" all about the Boys Family leading up to 1066 but I cannot see what branch my line follows on to ones in the book.  It is thought to be of the Willesborough branch but so far I cannot make the connection.
 Regards
Dave

It looks as if I have made it this time
I have a fair bit of info on the Boys Family but am getting gaps in my own line.
If someone has details of the Molash parish aera it would help
