Subj: Re: BOYD, WALKER - Ballyclog parish
From: schmitt@umr.edu (E. T. Schmitt)
I found these families in the volumes on Famine Immigrants . . . 1846-1851,
which
are very likely my Boyd family from Ballyclog parish, Co. Tyrone. The
father and two
children came first. Then the mother and 5 children later. We had though
that boys
came with James, but it appears they were girls. Some of the ages are
a little off in
these, but William believed he was born in 1839 until he got the affidavit
of his baptism
that showed his birth in 1836.
Not certain, but probably "ours"
