      The Boyd family is an Australian family whose members over several generations contributed to the arts in the fields of painting, sculpture, pottery, ceramics, literature, architecture, poetry and music. The Boyd family is considered an artistic dynasty.


      Family tree


      The family is descended from four diverse immigrants to Victoria:

      William à Beckett (1806–1869), lawyer and Chief Justice of Victoria, arrived in New South Wales in 1837 with his wife, Emily (née Hayley) à Beckett and three young sons; including the Hon. William Arthur Callendar à Beckett (1833–1901). His brother, Thomas Turner à Beckett, arrived in Australia in 1850 and was the father of Eliza à Beckett who married Charles Henry Chomley, a novelist and newspaper editor.
      John Mills (c. 1810–1841) was transported a convict to Van Diemen's Land in 1827. He was awarded a ticket of leave and married Hannah Hale in 1836. He and his wife arrived in the Port Phillip District in 1837 and there began brewing and real estate development. Mr and Mrs Mills had a daughter, Emma (1838–1906), the ultimate heiress to the Mills financial interests, marrying the Hon. W.A.C. à Beckett September 1855.
      Major Alexander Boyd (1 August 1792 – 21 August 1869), paymaster of the 11th Regiment of Foot (The North Devonshire Regiment of Foot), arrived in Van Diemen's Land in 1845, possibly with his wife, Susan Boyd, née Brown, (May 1796 – ).
      Robert Martin (1798–1874), medical practitioner and squatter, travelled by land from Sydney in 1839 to take up land at Mount Sturgeon near Dunkeld and Heidelberg. His wife Lucy Martin (née Gear) and family came from Sydney to join him soon after.
      These four families were joined by marriages of their children in the young colony of Victoria in the 1850s:

      It was in 1955 when David Boyd with his wife Hermia returned from a stay of several successful working years as potters in England and the south of France that the conception of this family line was popularised in a display of public relations in the press, magazines and the media (radio in 1955, television arrived 1956) that dismayed most family members. David was working full-scale promoting the circumstances of his life for the benefit of the pottery exhibitions of his and his wife's work, and magazine editors found the thick patina of past grandeur as presented to them by David irresistible and pages of glory adorned the 1955 magazines and newspaper articles. From here on, in the family's history no members could think of themselves again as quite so elite or socially removed although in the popular sense as an artistic family the notoriety was never greater. The generations that followed (including those born before 1955) grew up in this imposed social and cultural circumstance.
      Politician Cressida O'Hanlon is a granddaughter of David Boyd and Hermia Boyd.
