Charles de Boinville, who lived in Kilmacolm, was the Greenock Cricket Club wicket-keeper in the 1950’s, and I bowled to him. He was Regional Director for Scotland for BOCM, based in Greenock, which was the Animal feeds division of Unilever. He left Kilmacolm in 1960 to be Vice-Chairman of the animal feeds group in London and subsequently became Chairman. He then became a member of the M.C.C. de Boinville is certainly not the most common of surnames and I have never seen it used until the beginning of this year. I have a passing interest in Horse Racing and suddenly noticed a jockey by that name listed as winning a National Hunt race, but did not pay too much attention until it appeared twice in quick succession. Thereafter, my curiosity was aroused and I browsed and got a quick reply from Brough Scott, and quickly thereafter an email from the jockey’s father Simon de Boinville, who was born in Kilmacolm and a son of Charles. It can be a very small world! I have gathered information already, but would also be pleased to hear any other stories about the de Boinville family and especially from anyone who remembers where they lived in Kilmacolm.
