Could be this one?

According to genuki, Stocklands registration district was Axminster between 1837 and 1844....

Hi Cat,

I think there was actually person with the christian name of Male.but unsure.William appears on the IGI/1881 census as being son of James,and another entry shows Robert as father,hence need for a cert.Thanks for that anyway.

1861 census seems to show parents as Robert and Maria, do you have this census?

(in 1851, only mother Maria is present, Robert is a lodger in the house of Elizabeth Harris 69 and Thomas Harris 3 in Chard Somerset)

ps. 1851 census doesn't show any person called "Male Boyland"

On IGI I can see pedigree files for the parents being Robert Boyland and Maria Hooper. Have you seen those ones, theres the contact address of someone who submitted the info, a Boyland himself, not you is it??....

Yes Cat,I have submitted a part of my tree so Robert would show up.Looking at the IGI Same family if children appear to have been entered with two different fathers ie Robert or james.Inaccurate transcription I guess,but that does not solve which of the two if truely is? I have looked at several sources but nowhere can I get birth details in order to get a cert,I feel sure I have seen a Boyland listed simply as "Male" will have to check that,but that could be difficult to order a cert with just "Male" ?

Doesn't his marriage cert. name father?? 

[langtry]

Yes,the marriage record shows his father as Samuel Boyland,and that fits nowhere,it has been suggested to me that errors of this kind are commom,but that does not help,does it?
