Help finding grandad's missing brothers - Robert James Boyd and John H Boyd

[isobelw]

Don’t know if it helps at all but John was born John Henry Fullerton Boyd on 20th July 1899.

Your an absolute star just bought more credits for nidirect to pin him down as Robert James death was correct. Can’t believe my grandad possibly lost all three brothers young.

Are you aware of the website www.irishgenealogy.ie ?
You can view lots of original certificates free of charge there.

I didn’t that’s fantastic, thank you so much again also johns middle name might be a clue to go further back as maiden names got used in middles names in my family

Put in John Henry’s full name in ancestry and linked to a members tree have messaged them to enquire however they have Robert James in Canada and death date 1960 however looking at their passenger records they have him leaving from Edinburgh so think maybe again it’s a members tree with errors

That was the tree I mentioned earlier. If you check out the marriage between Robert James Boyd and Frances Walker in 1910 it clearly shows his father was a Robert Boyd. They have linked back to the wrong parents so their whole tree before Robert James is wrong. That said the information they have re the deaths of John in 1925 and Mary in 1941 may relate to your family so worth trying to find out where they got it from.

Off work so on it today the actual records office found the death in 1904 for me and said they couldn’t be 100% but thought it may be Robert James. John possibly did move but think it would have been mentioned to be honest David’s death was mentioned a lot as he was standing on a street corner and shot by the IRA at 18

Attaching this in case you haven’t seen it. Certainly suggests none of the brothers were around. From the Northern Whig 16 March 1922

Thank you

Found the death they stated for Mary but hard to tell if it’s correct even though I viewed on Ni direct and can’t see samuels for 1925.

My death for Robert James is correct. Johns the mystery
