Question

I have been asked whether W Forbes Boyd (above) was the same person as, or was related to W Forbes Boyd who lived in Didsbury, Manchester in 1910, whose interests around that time included pot-holing in the northern Pennines and climbing in Derbyshire.

If you are able to help answer this question, can you please email me.

Thank you.
