• Birth Notes

  DoB from age 61 at death in 1861 as her his headstone.

Andrew's father was John Boyd and his mother was "Malsey" Gage.  His paternal grandparents were John [Collins] Boyd and Margaret Boyd. He had a brother named John.  He died at the age of 61 in 1861.

• Death Notes

  DoD from his headstone in Ballylintagh Presbyterian Church:
  "Sacred to the memory of Andrew Boyd, Ballyclough who died 19th December 1861, Aged 61 years.  The Reverend William Boyd, his son, who died 9th June 1867, Aged 26 years, Highly esteemed Beloved and deeply Regretted by a wide circle of friends."

• General Notes

  Source: Civil Marriage of his son, John Boyd, who married Margaret Anderson in 1864.
  
  This also has to be the Andrew from Ballyclough, aged 61, who died in 1861, because that Andrew's headstone is within the same railings as John of The Collins, 1831-1904 in Ballylintagh Graveyard.
  
  Is this man also the Andrew Boyd in Crosscanley in the 1831 Census?  It seems likely as he lived in a household of three males and one female and this Andrew would have been married with two sons in 1831. 
  
  There are no Boyds in Ballyclough in the TAB.
