i am trying to trace my great grandads family.
he was harold stanley boyde born 1904, found birth certificate proving he was born on isle of man even though there are no records on the isle of man to prove this as his birth was not registered.
at some point he went over to canada, he had a brother who died falling off a naval ship and got crushed between ship and the dock.
we think he had other family.
he then moved to scotland where he married my great grandmother after her 1st husband died in korean war.
her name charlotte watts macpherson/gatford.
then moved to south of england and lived ashington till their death.

I may be able to help you a bit.My grandfather (Edwin James Boyde) was from IOM,he was born about 1885, but I know he had several siblings.
I don't think any of them were born as late as 1904 but Harold could be one of his nephews,as I believe my gf was one of the younger ones.
What caught my eye was your spelling of Boyde.
How many Boydes could there be on the Isle of Man.

hopefully I can help.
