This looks like William now living with his sister Mary and her family. Mary's birthplace is given as Leith so that ties in correctly.

It's beginning to look like James and Mary may have died after the 1851 census and before 1855 when registration began. Had a look on Scotlandspeople for Mary Auld / Boyne and no matches are coming up. Also had a look for a death for James up till 1861 and there's only one death coming up - but not in Midlothian.

Can't see either James or Mary on the census following 1851.

This looks like the brothers - no sign of the parents.

Hi, I am looking for information on a James Boyne who was married to a Mary Auld, in 1840, if anyone has any information on him I would be most gratefull. He was in the 1841 Cencus, living in Leith Edinburgh, but no mention in any of the later Cencus's
Carol.
