Frances Clara Dyer born 29/4/1900 died 1975 Jun Q Ely Cambs

Frances Clara Palmer born 1900 Jun Q Holborn

A Sydney A Dyer died 1966 Sep Q Cambridge which fits with Leslie's death
But I cant find a Sydney A Dyer born 1900 in that area -however there is an Arthur Sydney Dyer born 1900 Jan Q St Faiths Norfolk so amybe he swapped his names around

You seem to know more about your paternal relations than your first post suggested......

Do you know when your grandparents died?

The birth cert is the best way to go........for accurate, and full, parental info

But, if you want to take a chance on Sydney and Frances.........try looking on freebmd for their births

And as I stated earlier, the death cert info should include your father's birthplace

Just realised Gilian of course this is my nan-she is called Frances and my middle name is Frances after her! I need to do some searching for Sydney and Frances!

Hi,

I think that erpingham one is my dad. Funny, his dad was Arthur so I am wondering if he was Sydney arthur. My dad was Leslie Arthur and my brother is Adrian Arthur so I guess they used Arthur as a middle name through the generations. I have found a marriage between Leslie a dyer and Pauline j Dudley in Norwich in 1953 on here and I have a feeling he was married before, and I also have a feeling they may have had a daughter. Where could I go armed with this information?? No he didn't marry my mum you are correct!

Many thanks

Can your friend tell you anything more about Gillian?
How old she was at the time?
I have tried in vain to find a Leslie and a Gillian Dyer birth with the same Mothers maiden surname
There is a Gillian K Dyer born 1925 Jun Q Wycombe (MMS Aldridge) but her parents (Ernest H Dyer and Audrey A Aldridge ) married 1923 Dec Q Wycombe a bit too close to Leslies birth to be a possibility -also trried Leslie A Aldridge in case he was born before marriage but no joy

The Erpingham one was the son of Sydney A Dyer and Frances Palmer who married 1923 Jun Q Norwich

(have checked above website, in case of cremation in Cambridge, they have records, nothing showing)

Chris :)

edits, if your'e referring to Stretham, nr Ely, Cambs., a good chance I'd say of that birth Flick posted, or possibly a burial that way?...

Helen

This is the only birth reg'n which fits the DOB quoted on the death reg'n - but that, of course, assumes that the person registering the death had the correct info

You may not realise that bmd's are collated in quarters, thus one which is recorded as 'Sep' is actually during the qtr ending Sep.....July, Aug and Sep

Births Sep 1923 (>99%)

Dyer Leslie A Palmer Erpingham 4b 110


Erpingham district is Norfolk - not a million miles from Cambridgeshire

I'm guessing - forgive me if I'm wrong - that your father and mother didn't marry, so you can't use marriage records as a check?

EDIT:

Just noticed your reference to Stretham...............was he supposed to have been born there?

Actually, if you buy the death cert, it SHOULD say where he was born...................

Oh dear, Lindsey, how utterly infuriating for you........I hadn't realised.

Flick I pm;d it because there is a moron about who likes reporting my posts,no other reason.

I can't find him on freebmd-what search info do I use??

Many thanks

Helen

I can't believe how quick and helpful you have been.

The person who we have been in contact with from my fathers town of stretham has said she went to school with his sister Gillian so should not be an only child? I don't know where he is born to be honest. the neighbour thinks Gillian emigrated to America.

Any help with this would be amazing

A quick look at freebmd suggests that he was probably an only child

Oops

Cheers Flick

I put to much info into the search

Why PM the death?
