I am also new to ancestry. I would be interested in more MN Boys Family infomation. I know my mother's family came from MN. I am from the OR & WA Boys family and have a lot of info from my Grandfather (Edward Wright Boys) on down. It would be great to exchange.

Not that I'm aware of. Our Boys family began to use the spelling Boyce after the marriage of this couple. I don't have a Darlington Boyce as a descendent -

Hi! My name is Alicia. Do you happen to know if any of these Boyces are related to Darlington Boyce who married Susannah Fisher?

I have over 100 PICS which I cannot identify location or people but I believe some are Ed & Lizzie with Art & Esther Boys when they visited them in the early 30's
Also, if you are interested, I have a very informative "Boys Family History" with info back to the 1785-1875 photos and artist drawings of our GGG Grandparnts.
Would love to share and get more info about the Boys family wwho lived in OR/WA - Your parents brothers/sister. I have sseveral PICS of thenm that I cannot identify or date??

Nice to hear from another Boys! Where do you have the Boys family in the 1700s?

I have my ancestors in New Jersey.

From what I have gleaned over the years there were many Boys who resided in states such as Kentucky and Tennessee. I got the impression they were miners.

Look forward to hearing from you.

I just joined ancestry.com and saw this post. I have tons of INFO of Nicollet County Boys Family, 1700's to present. I will soon be building a Boys tree. I have info following the Boys from PA to to Ohio to Minnesota with some branching West to OR & WA. I lived on the Home Place, a farm in Nicollet Co / Oshawa Twnshp which was the Boys Homestead from 1876 - 2009. Would enjoy sharing and learning if you have any info for ME!! David J Boys, MN

Mary Boys McKinley Sanders

lunarcy — 2011-05-04 22:54:31Z

Mary Boys (b abt 1816 OH) married (William?) McKinley before 1841 in OH. They had a child/children.
On 7 April 1849 Mary Boys McKinley (widowed, I think) married John Sanders (widower) in Clermont Co., OH.
They had at least three additional children: Richard, John, and Anna.
I cannot find a death or burial record for Mary or John, nor can I trace their children after 1860 when they were still in Clermont Co.
Mary was my ggg grandmother. Any information would be appreciated.

Hi Ann,

Just replace the "&" with "@". I know that "name" is an unusual ending for an email address, but it works.

(Tell your friend that the ".name" domain was released a few years ago and, if you got in quickly, you could get your own name, as I have. It is a re-direction address which sends the emails to my physical email address.)

Cheers,
Jeff Whittle

Hi Ky-Lee,
Sorry but my earliest Boys is the Thomas I mentioned. I only have one of his offspring - John Boys = Hannah Lowe. They had 11 children, but that doesn't help you.
Good hunting,

Re: Elizabeth Boys - father Edward Boys Esq, Said from Kent

kylsbaby1 — 2010-08-25 02:49:21Z

Hi Jeff,
Do you have a link for Elizabeth Boys to a Joseph Walker who was a rev?? I estimate she was born c1765-70, and all I know of her is a father known as Edward Boys esq.?? I have seen it written that he was from Kent and St. Albans.
One of their Grandchildren headed to Australia.

Re: Elizabeth Boys - father Edward Boys Esq, Said from Kent

JeffWhittle42 — 2010-08-25 00:02:03Z

Hi Ann,

I have about 100 of the Boys clan in my tree. I can send you a GED file of the descendants of the oldest I have. He was Thomas Boys who married Jane Davis on 15 April 1776 at St Peter & St Paul, Ashton, Warwickshire. I don't know of any links with the USA, but it might help.

My email address is jeff&whittle.name (I'm sure you know how to interpret that. Just want to disguise it from scanning programs.) It's an unusual address but it works.

Cheers,

Elizabeth Boys - father Edward Boys Esq, Said from Kent

kylsbaby1 — 2010-08-24 18:45:56Z

Hello,
I am at a bit of a loss with this one - this is what I have
Elizabeth Boys married a Joseph Walker. Rev, children (known) Sarah Walker and William Edward Walker.

Sarah went on to marry Duncan George Forbes 8th Lord of Culloden, and I have seen in various books that her mother was Elizabeth Boys, dau of Edward Boys. Esq of Kent.

Is this ringing any bells with anyone ? I am seeking people who may know this family or have come across them. I have hit a bit of a wall.

Am wishing to contact anyone with this ancestor who went from Manchester England to USA and opened a textile mill there.
I know he had a number of sons and I am very anxious to talk to any of them. I am the grandaughter Dorothy Holland of this Robert William Boys' brother, John Boys, who died in Manchester in 1907.

Re: Boyes/Boyes/Halliday in South West Scotland

Gallovidia — 2009-06-23 17:03:39Z

Hi Glenn,

As far as I know, all my Boyces/Hallidays are from Dumfries & Galloway. I haven't found anything to link any of them back to England. I have only traced the Boyces back to the early 1800s, and the Hallidays I have worked my way back to the 1750s. All my Hallidays have been from Kirkcudbrightshire, and have farming roots.

If you do find any sort of link, can you let me know? I will let you know if I ever find anything.

Thanks,
Elaine Halliday

I am also searching for this pair of families but in Co Durham, England.
Edward Wright Halliday (master mariner) b 1799 married Eleanor Boys (d/o John Boys also mariner) all in Sunderland or Chester-Le-street. Wonder whether your scottish folks trace back to durham or perhaps you have info on these families relation back to the 1700s and beyond

Hi Kerry
Have just found some interesting info on the BOYS family on this site. My maternal GT great grandmother was Fances Boys b 1833 who married Edward Percival Guest in 1858. Frances was the daughter of George Boys and Susannah Chant and George descended from William and Elizabeth boys. George was a son of Edward Boys anbd Sara Collingham.

Tina,
I know you posted your inquery about Charles Walter Boys about 7 years ago, but I can hopefully help you if you haven't already found the information. Charles was my Great-uncle and so far as I know he is deceased. My mother Terri (Boys) Gonda (who would be your 1st cousin) will have more information. I hope this post makes it to you! You can contact me at jaynegonda@gmail.com

Message to the corbetts!

If our branches are related, then it's very distantly!

What I would suggest (if you haven't done so before) is to contact Malcolm Boyes who has a one-name study on the Boys/Boyes family - I'm sure he has some information on your line. His contact details can be found at http://www.one-name.org/. Click on 'registered names' and you'll find his details from there.

best wishes and good luck!

GailSmith18 — 2007-01-18 02:32:56Z

Thank you for writing!
I don't know if you follow the Kent mail list (your message was gatewayed from the message board).
It appears that my BOYS isn't BOYS at all, but BONE instead. It's all very complicated and mixed up. Thomas BROCKELBANK married an Emily Archer BONE,who appears to have been born around 1838, but my grandfather's b.cert. says his mother was Emily Archer BOYS and her d.cert. says she was 26 when she died in 1874 (so b. 1858). Go figure! :o)

Re: Sussex/London Boys

thecorbetts188 — 2007-01-17 14:36:44Z

I am currently researching my section of the Sussex Boys family. My grandfather was Charles Edwin Boys born in Southease in 1885 and married to Ada Maria Hilborn in 1912 in Ringmer. First child (of nine) was Marjorie May Boyes - note the addition of the 'e'. They moved to Woodmansterne, Surrey, then Woking but we also have huge links with Ditchling and have Boys ancestors buried in the churchyard (gravestone still there). There are now lots of Boyes living in Surrey, originally BOYS but for some reason my grandfather added the 'E'. Not sure if your branch is related but I think I have just found my great grandfather, Charles Boys who in the 1901 census was living in the Newhaven area (Southease).

Re: Ada Elizabeth Boys

Do you have access to a site called www.familysearch.org.uk? If so, this has a lot of the Boys family, going right back to 1047 which I am fairly certain I am related to! There are a few John Boys so you might find your link there. Best of luck!

Re: Ada Elizabeth Boys

jandkparsnips — 2006-12-01 14:04:48Z

Ada's father Edward Coleman Boys was born in Sellindge, Kent c 1828. Her grandfather was George Boys c 1798 also born in Kent - Willenborough. I've not come across the names you mentioned yet though as they are all from Kent, there may be an earlier link. Do you know the names of the next generation back?

Re: Ada Elizabeth Boys

2006-12-01 14:04:29Z

There is hearsay information that we descended from a clergyman. There is also hearsay that we are related to Sir John Boys and some of our antecedants came from the Betttteshanger Branch.

The earliest antecedants I have in the USA were in Gloucester County, New Jersey in the early 1700s.

They could have come directly from England or come to Virginia or Massachusetts and migrated the New Jersey which is my guess.

Some of the early family names were Nathan, Eli, Susannah, Robert, and Henry.

Re: BOYS & WINCH, distillers of Rochester, Kent ENG

2006-11-30 19:48:51Z

James Boys, who was also the town clerk of Rochester, was in partnership with Richard Winch in Rochester as merchant distillers and refiners, importers and dealers in foreign wines and spiritous liquors carried out at Rochester. James Boys died on 29.1.1833 and a notice dissolving the partnership was placed in the London Gazette of 30/8/1833 by his widow Eliza Simson Boys and Robert Winch, who had been appointed to administer his estate.

Ada Elizabeth Boys

jandkparsnips — 2006-11-30 19:48:11Z

Ada Elizabeth Boys was my great grandmother. She was born in Walthamstow in 1867 and her parents were Edward Coleman Boys and Elizabeth Enzer. She was one of 12 siblings and I am trying to trace any relatives. Any information appreciated.

Re: Ada Elizabeth Boys

2006-11-30 19:47:46Z

I have an Ada Adella Boys b. 1875, parents John Finley Boys and SArah Ann Reeder. These people were all born in the United States.

Am I correct that Walthamstow is in England?

Keep me posted as you go backward. I have been unable to trace us back to England from where I believe we came. Believe we were in Kent.

Sussex/London Boys

clarefmshaw — 2006-11-28 11:51:47Z

I am researching the Boys family from Alciston, Sussex, and I would guess there are likely to be connections with the Alfriston, Berwick, Hellingly and Selmeston Boys. My particular interest is Henry Boys (my great-great-grandfather) born 1841 in Alciston, son of John and Elizabeth Boys. His siblings were Mary Ann, Ellen, Esther, John, William and Caroline. By 1851 John Boys (snr) has died and Elizabeth is recorded as a 'lime-burner's widow on parish relief', still living in Alciston. In the subsequent 20 years, I have lost the family, but by 1871 some of the children have reappeared in London - Henry is a metropolitan policeman, some of the sisters are living in the Marylebone area of London and a brother is in Limehouse. I am trying to ascertain connections with the other Boys in the Alciston area and any London links. Any help would be appreciated.

BOYS HALL

2006-09-24 16:27:04Z

The threads relating to BOYS HALL are severall years old so I am hoping some of the submitters are still around!
From the 1841 census through to 1871 my 3 x gr.grandfather, William SCOTT was living at BOYS HALL . In the 1851 census it says he was a farmer with 900 acres and 56 employees and several domestic servants. He retired to Sevenoaks by the time of the 1881. I would love to find out when he arrived at BOYS HALL and am also interested in the history of the place. Apparently it is a haunted house according to a documentary on BBC.
My information regarding William SCOTT does seem to conflict with information posted by one lady who said her many times great grandfather William BOYS was living there during this time. Funnily enough my William SCOTT was also married to an Elizabeth!

Looking forward to hearing from anyone with an interest in this location or the SCOTT family.
