Death?

William Stewart Boyd may have been born in Drumcliff, Co. Sligo, Ireland. The proclamation of banns was read Sept. 17, 1853 in Largs Parish, and his marriage to Mary Crawford took place 7 Oct 1853, probably at St. Columba's Episcopal Church in Largs.

The only record I have found besides the proclamation of banns for William is his information given on the birth of his son Stewart in 1855. I didn't find him in 1851 or 1861 censuses in Largs. At his daughter Mary Ann's marriage to James Lindsay in 1871, he is listed as deceased. In the 1861 census his wife listed as married, but as widowed in 1871. No record yet has been found of his death. He may have returned to Ireland.
