Noblehill was the area of Dumfries where the Boyd family lived in the late 1890's and early 1900's. Thanks to Ellen, the latest family member to join our group, we have a photograph of the house Robert, son of John and Mary Boyd, lived in in Noblehill. Could this be the family home which is registered as their place of residence on the 1901 census?
I hope it may be possible to find the exact location of the house as, after all, there is a possibility that it is still in existence. Before this photograph came to light I had taken a couple of general snaps of Noblehill. Without any idea of where the Boyd's actually lived it was not possible to take a photograph of the very spot the house stood on - perhaps that can be rectified soon.
