Find Ancestors

Hi, could anyone please find me the family of Thomas Boyd born 9 September 1837 in Houghton le Spring, County of Durham. His parents were John Boyd born c 1809 and Elizabeth Boyd nee Bennett born c 1811. I am of course interested in his parents, when they were born etc but am wondering if anyone could please find who Thomas Boyd married and if they had children. I also have a Mary Elizabeth Boyd born c 1861 and am wondering if she is related to this family, I thought maybe Thomas' daughter, but who was the mother. I have maiden surname possibly Pearls, Peal or Peel. Hope I'm not confusing anyone here... I'm confused myself.

Kind regards

Kathryn

You can check for him on the 1881 census which is free to search .If he is with a wife the marriage should be on FreeBMD.

Must go to the opticians in the morning patchem!!

Right, as a result of the marriage in 1860 of Thomas and Isabella is it posible to find out if they had a child by the name of Mary Elizabeth born 1861 please or have I completely lost the thread?

Kind regards

Kathryn

I am totally confused now as Thomas Boyd is shown in the 1861 Census as a border yet a Thomas Boyd married Isabella Bee in 1860.

Kind regards

Kathryn

Where have you found information about Mary from? Please post all details.
If the Thomas you are seeking was a currier he could have moved constantly but left his wife and family in (say) Durham area.
Isabella's birth:
.Transcription Record Name Isabella Bee
Year of Registration 1840

Edit
Need to look into the occupation to be more certain. Spelling mistake by enumerator?
