Robert James Boyd Death
« on: Sunday 26 January 20 16:41 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

Been doing my family tree a couple of years but have trouble tracing a couple of my grandads brothers. Got two death certs for a Robert Boyd one is correct full name but not sure if anyone can help tell which us accurate. His name was Robert James Boyd born 1886 mother Mary Boyd maiden name Brown and fathers name Samuel Boyd. They lived at Hillend in Belfast them Shankill Road. I have attached two certs any help would be fab. He disappears in the 1911 census. Still trying to find out kit what happened to brother John also born 1899 that’s tricker

Thank you so much, that’s the wrong family so looking like it could be the other one. Mother was Mary Boyd and Father was Samuel Boyd

Just wish there was a double check as seems he wasn’t at family address on 1901 census at that point of Hilland Street, belfast
