• Death Notes

  Probably NOT him:
  Registration number    Forename of deceased    Surname of deceased    Date of death    Age at death    Date of birth    Sex of deceased    Registration district    
  D/1884/27/1005/10/112    James    Boyd    29th February 1884    82        Male    Ballymoney(pre-1973 Q4)
  
  This man is from Drumreagh with a James Boyd, son, PAD, he is married and a farmer.  I do not think this is him because I doubt my James Boyd had any children.... unless mine married twice.  Drumreagh is a few townlands north of Bellaghbeddy and Maddykeel. 
  
  This is also probably him in the GV:

  And he had a sister, Letitia, just as mine did but I still do not think it is the same man.  Strange that he died in the same year as mine too.........  Hhhmmmm.... interestingly, his wife was also called Margaret!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  She died in 1885, aged 77, from Drumreagh, widow of James Boyd, son, James Boyd of Drumreagh PAD.  BUT, she could NOT marry in 1873 and have a son PAD in 1885!  So, has to be all coincidence.
  
  Oh, one more coincidence....my James married a Margaret Jane Henry and this James lived next door to a James Henry.


 Margaret Jane Henry
Margaret is no longer alive.
