Archibald Boyd Family

[deb10426]

I am very new to this web site and wonder if I maybe can get some help from anyone out there. I am trying to find out more information on this family. He was either born about 1786 to 1795 Scotland. I have him marrying a Margaret Fairbairn who was born about 1791 to 1799 in Scotland, and they were married , as of my records have it May 20 1811, North Leith, Midlothian, Scotland. They had eight children which were all born in Scotland. Children were as follow, Margaret and Elizabeth Boyd were born about 1816, Janet Boyd was born about 1819, Archibald Boyd was born May 5, 1821 an married a Margaret Loeb or Lobb, in July 17, 1841, in Scotland. Catherine Boyd was born in July 4, 1823, James Boyd was born about 1825, John Boyd was born about 1828, Jane or Jean Boyd was born in Feb 11, 1832. Hope some one can help me out some with this little information I am posting.

If I were to send away for birth or marriage how do I go about it for the boyd's? All the birth's and marriage were in Scotland, and yes renfrewshire.  Thank you so far for the help too, Joe, a big thank you.
