Now getting stuck on Laura Dyson.

Think you need her marriage cert ascertain her father.

What's even odder, Meg, is that the 1911 census match for Laura came up when I asked for "Cheshire" - and she is living in Reddish - but it says she is born Reddish, Lancashire. Maybe some boundary change during her lifetime? Or maybe her family were just rubbish at geography! Actually I suspect what happened is that her dad (who WAS born in Lancashire) just got a bit lazy with the form and "dittoed" the Lancashire. I'll take a look at the original.

Hmm - yes, he HAD used a fair number of ditto marks but has repeated Reddish, Lancashire once or twice. Just rubbish at geography then!

I have also double checked and she IS the only Laura Dyson of ANY age in Cheshire - so whilst I agree everything should be double checked with certificates, I'm placing my money on this being her.

BTW, my mother in law lives in Strines, which I guess you must know. And she used to run a tea room in Marple!

Oh quite possibly a boundary change, I didn't even bother to check. I well know where Reddish is, right on the border of Lancashire/Cheshire.

That is the right Laura Dyson, I am sure.

Yep, I know Strines very well. Nothing there but a string of (nice) houses and what used to be the Calico Printers Works. You didn't by chance know a family called Bissett who lived there did you? I went to primary school with a Graham Bissett, born about 1952. Lived in Strines.

I can confirm the birth details for Cecil Henry Chiverton, but can also add that he died in 2004 and his birth date was 17 Apr 1920.
