Hi Ruth,
This is a real stab in the dark but my great grandfather, Fredrick was born in 1855 in Long Sutton Lincolnshire Birmingham. He emigrated here to New Zealand in 1876.As the butcher on the sailing ship 'Waitangi'.His eldest son of 13 children, 2 wives, was named William, and my grandfather was Alfred.
I have no other info on him but it may fit with yours?

William John Dyer / Thomas Dyer / Margery Dyer All of the above where the children of William Alfred Dyer born 1884 in Honiton Devon. His 1st first wife was Annie ireland (from Honiton) they moved to Stockport Cheshire as William worked on the railways. Annie gave birth to William 1911 & died shortly afterwards. William Married Lily Price in 1914 in Cheshire. Her father was also working on railways. They had two children Thomas & Margery. I think Thomas may have married Nellie Wardle & Margery possible married William Bradsley. I have numerous photographs as they visited my grandparents & there children. I would really like to hear from anyone connected with the above family. Thanks for reading my message
