* Source 8: "Aunt Belle's 90th".  Belle must be a sister of Albert Boyd, b. 1906. There is no Belle sister of Margaret Leckie Boyd; Margaret's sister Isabel  died in 1986, age 81 years.  With the 90th birthday announcement below, for Peggy Boyd  in July 1993, it seems likely that we know three siblings: Albert Boyd b. 1901, Peggy Boyd b. 1903, and Belle Boyd b. 1906.  If so, Peggy never married.  Or, Peggy could have been a sister-in-law if Albert Boyd had brothers.

Source notes

  • Source 8: "Aunt Belle's 90th". Belle must be a sister of Albert Boyd, b. 1906. There is no Belle sister of Margaret Leckie Boyd; Margaret's sister Isabel died in 1986, age 81 years. With the 90th birthday announcement below, for Peggy Boyd in July 1993, it seems likely that we know three siblings: Albert Boyd b. 1901, Peggy Boyd b. 1903, and Belle Boyd b. 1906. If so, Peggy never married. Or, Peggy could have been a sister-in-law if Albert Boyd had brothers.
