Jeff has found a James Grierson Boyd in Ohio in the 1920's so we are now looking into whether Mary Smith Boyd, wife of Art Bagnall, had other family in the USA. The first thing to establish is whether Mary had any brothers or sisters. The following baptisms for Boyd children with the same parents as Mary are posted on familysearch.org:
Anne Boyd 1853 Lochrutton, Kirkcudbright
Barbara Boyd 1855 Colvend, Kirkcudbright
John Boyd 1857 Irongray, Kirkcudbright
William Boyd 1860 Irongray, Kirkcudbright
Elizabeth Grierson Boyd 1862 Lochrutton, Kirkcudbright
Robert Boyd 1865 Lochrutton, Kirkcudbright
Mary Boyd 1867 Lambholm Cottage, Kirkmichael, Dumfries
Helen Boyd 1869 Colvend, Kirkcudbright
James Grierson Boyd 1871 Kelton, Kirkcudbright
Margaret Boyd 1873 Colvend, Kirkcudbright
It is now a matter of finding out if these children are Mary's siblings. The 1871 Scottish census may provide us with the information we need.
The map here shows the various places of the Boyd baptisms.
