AGMacD,
I read with great interest, the reference to William George Wyborn who married Margaret Dyker in Vancouver in 1926. William George Wyborn was my 4th cousin 3 times removed. He was born in Moat Sole, Sandwich, Kent on 24/6/1885 and died in Vancouver, British Columbia on 8/4/1950 but, until I found your posting here, I didn't know whether he had married or not.
I am in contact with another Wyborn cousin in Vancouver and will see if he can trace the marriage certificate to see if William George's father was one William Wyborn of Northbourne, Kent (1851-1927).
Bye for now.

Anita,
Many thanks for replying to my message. I've had a reply from my contact in Vancouver and he found that William George Wyborn was married twice. The first marriage was to one Annie Kidd (1883, Glasgow) on 19/11/1914 at the First Presbyterian Church, Vancouver.
Annie dies on 25/2/1925 and is buried in the Mountain View Cemetery, Vancouver. As we already know, William then marries Margaret Dyker on 24/6/1926 at St. Margarets, Vancouver. William dies in 1950 and Margaret in 1974. I don't know where William George is buried but I am guessing that, as Margaret is buried in Mountain View Cemetery, he will be as well.
The informant at Margarets death is a son-in-law so William and Margaret may have had a daughter. Unfortunately, I don't have the son-in-laws name to hand at the moment but I will ask my contact if he can find any Wyborn births in Vancouver c1926-1930 that can be attributed to William and Margaret?
Will be in touch again soon.

Hello Blue_Ian and AGMcD,
I came across your information concerning the Dyker family one night.
Just to let you know that William, who married Elizabeth McKay, died in Cobham, Surrey. They were my great grandparents.
Charles and Isabella (nee Mclaren) are buried in a small churchyard in Glass called Walla Kirk (St Walloch's Church). There are other Dykers there too.
I haven't done much research for a while, but I will see if I can dig out what I have.
While I remember, my father has always said that a George Dyker was a maker of fiddles. I'm not sure if this is William's brother or not, but apparently there are Dyker fiddles out there somewhere.
I hope this post works as it is my first attempt. 
RD
