My grandmother was ELIZABETH BOYCE and I believe she was born in Oxfordshire c1865. She married RICHARD HENRY BATTY in 1890 and they had 8 children. During their marriage they lived in the Wortley area of Barnsley, South Yorkshire. I think she died in 1936 and her husband died around 1952. At the time of his death he lived in Cudworth.
Their children were:- Stella,Stephen, Mona, Harriet, Dick,Kezia, Thomas and Elizabeth. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Also if anyone can tell me how I can get back to a previous generation??

Boyce history of Burgate, Rickinghall, Eye, Suffolk. Blois, Voice, Voyce, Boice, Boyce Starting with William Boyce (widower) and Mary Smith married at Rickinghall Superior, Suffolk in 1804. He was previously known as William Voice born 1781 at Rickinghall Inferior, Suffolk. His siblings were John Blois (1780 Eye, Suffolk), Elizabeth Voyce (1784 Rickinghall Inferior, Suffolk), James Voyce (1785 Rickinghall Inf) and Samuel Voyce (1787 Rickinghall Inf). His parents were Robert Blois (buried 1837at Rickinghall Inf as Robert Boyce) and Diana (Dina) Berry married Eye, Suffolk. It seems that the name depends almost entirely on the parish (or priest) where the records were noted. Any info on the evolution of the name would be appreciated.

I am researching the boyce family back to their roots in suffolk. My great, great,grandfather, robert boyce was born in botesdale, abt 1830 and married judith sheppard, who was born in rickinghall abt1831. Their marriage took place in wartham parish church on the 16th march 1850, the marriage certificate shows roberts father was called EDMUND Boyce. Unfortunatley there a number of edmunds which could fit the profile, so far drawn a blank, can any one help. Robert boyce moved with his family to west ardsley nr morley (Leeds).

Looking for the names and origins of the parents of my great-great grandfather, William Boyce (b. 1805 Portsea - d. 1879 Croydon). He was a brickmaker who travelled the southern counties following the railway development, even to France in 1841. He was born illegitimate to Esther Boyce (d. 1837 Portsea @ 55). Esther (Etty) later married Francis Beckett and had 4 children by him. William used the name Beckett when it suited him, as did his own children by his wife Puella Morgan. One of their sons, Joseph, married in the name of Beckett and was the father of Joe Beckett, the HW Boxing Champion of GB & the British Empire (1919-23). Another of their sons was Samuel Boyce (b Woolwich 1850 - d. 1907 Croydon), my own paternal great-grandfather. Hope to crack this one somehow. Geoff Boyce

I am trying to find my husband's Ancestor: WILLIAM JOHN BOYCE. This man has been a real mystery for myself and 3 other cousins for the last 3 years. I do not have a clue where this man was born in England. All that I know for sure is that on his marriage certificate he had listed his father as a WILLIAM BOYCE. As I said I have no information before he arrived in Australia he was born c1835???? He married in Adelaide, South Australia 1 Oct. 1862 His wife was Mary Tabraham Hawkes. Have not found him on any shipping registers for SA, so I have the feeling he might have landed in another State and made his way to South Australia by 1862. The only fact I do have is that he died in 1888 in Broken Hill and was burried in a paupers grave, he was only 53 years old. Would love to meet up with anyone who can shed some light on this elusive William John Boyce. Looking forward to your reply, Sieglinde, Queensland,. Australia.
