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
David
