His second name was Boyne not Boyce. He was my grandfather and elected to remain in Southern Africa. He moved to Bulawayo, Southern Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, and started a Farrier business called the Veterinary Shoeing Forge. He married Hannah Denyer PRICE born in Dunedin 20 Nov 1888, in Bulawayo on 11 Feb 1906.
