I wonder please if some kind person would be able to find two marriages for me. I do not know who they married or when.

Name & birth info as follows -

Lilian E Dyer born Sep 1921 - Bristol 6a 310 - mother's maiden name Stone

Edith L Dyer born Sep 1926 - Bristol 6a 241- mother's maiden name Stone

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Nicki

Thanks for looking for me. All I know about these two is when their mother died in the early thirties they were put into a children's home. So all I know is the their names and dates of birth.

Hi.With the Lilian E Marriage..the cross reference has Matcham marrying either Dyer or Oxenham.?.
would Edith and Lilian have a different surname..adoption?

Nicki

Nicki Report 27 Feb 2008 12:57

Cassidy

Thanks

They could well have been adopted - I know they were fairly young when their mother died. I am surprised about the wrong info on dob though - also not in Bristol. So do both Dyer & Oxenham relate to Lilian?

Do you think that I should order that cert? I suppose it would give me her fathers name.

Hi Nicola.Yes,I do .It's only a couple of quid.I think it's the nearest you'll get to the Lilian you're looking for.Worth a shot!Also,you can't assume they both died after 1983,unless you have that knowledge already.Regard's.

Hi Cassidy

Thanks once again. I think that is what I will do.


Would they show two names in that manner if she had been married before?

Parent's are Thomas Dyer and Edith Stone married 1916,Bristol Q1.Other children born to these parent's as well.

Nicki

Nicki Report 27 Feb 2008 15:41

Cassidy,

Thanks.

I have that info on Edith & Thomas, also their sons George and Ronald - the latter being my grandfather.

How did you tie in - Lilian with Edith & Thomas?

Hi.There's also Doreen born 1923.The mother died in 1936.
There are not a lot of Dyer/Stone birth's in the Bristol Area at the time..make's it easier.Regard's,

Nicki

Nicki Report 27 Feb 2008 16:19

Cassidy,

Wow! - Didnt know about Doreen!! Could you please let me have her details? - Can you find a marriage for her too?

Also, if poss, the death ref for Edith Dyer (Stone)?

Where it says - Matcham marrying either Dyer or Oxenham - do you think she was married to someone with the name Oxenham prior to Matcham?


Thanks

Nicki

Sorry for the delay was cooking!

Doreen 6a 323,Q2,Bristol.

Edith Dyer [nee Stone] Death...1931,Bristol 6a 35,Q3.The only one that fit's.

Which mean's she was born in 1892.I think if you see the 1901 census her parent's name's are William and Lydia...large family residing at Cadbury Heath,Oldland,Thornbury.

There could possibly be more children that you are unaware of as you have the youngest as born 1926 and mother died 1931.
Regard's,

Nicki

Nicki Report 27 Feb 2008 17:41

Thanks Cassidy

Death in 1931 ties in with my Grandad and his brother joining the Army when their mother died.

How do I go about finding if there were any other births between 1926-1931?

I will have a look at the census of 1901 that you mention.
