Forgot to add, I went through the register from 1724-1734 for any sign of Mary & Elizabeth but nothing. May try earlier for any Dyers that may have been missed.

Claire,

If you're right, and I believe you are, then John and Anna's mother is Elizabeth HAWKINS, not Elizabeth DOUBT; so that removes all doubt (sorry! Couldn't resist) from that DYER family. Elizabeth DOUBT remains as the mother of my ancestor Elizabeth (10 Jul 1715), Joseph, Mary et al in Lanteglos-by-Fowey and Brixton. Do you agree?

Claire,

Sorry, somehow I missed your post re your search of the register from 1724-34. It would have been wonderful if you had found Elizabeth and Mary. I've searched on-line without success, which is why I've ended up with the Lanteglos-by-Fowey family; a family in Stoke Damerel would be a much nicer solution but, as Holmes would say "when you have eliminated the possible, whatever is left, no matter how unlikely, must be the solution".

Hi George

I've now searched the registers from 1707-1724 no Elizabeth or Mary there. So it definitely looks like they were born somewhere else.

I have found a Dyer family (headed by a William & Mary) in the Plymouth Presbyterian records. They did have a daughter Mary but no Elizabeth.

The John & Elizabeth in Stoke Damerel also had a daughter Elizabeth in 1736 - so a bit late for what you need.

Hi Claire,

Thanks for all that research; it would have been great to have come up with Elizabeth and Mary but, as you say, it definitely looks like they were born elsewhere.

It appears that at least three members of the Lanteglos-by-Fowey/Brixton family (Elizabeth, Mary and Joseph) eventually reached Devonport. Two of the others (John and the un-named female) did not reach adulthood, and we have found no trace of Adam, neither a burial nor a marriage; perhaps he went to sea or joined the army. Barring any evidence to the contrary, I propose to add this family to my DYER roots. Elizabeth's husband, William BENNETT, will, I suspect, be as far back as I can get on that side; there are simply too many possible candidates, but I shall continue looking, as I shall for further DYER roots.

Is it time to close this thread?

Hi George

I wouldn't post it as completed - you never know what records may come online. I'm always on the look-out for Devon/Cornwall records for my errant ancestors. I shall add the Dyers to my list  ;)

Funny, I can't find any mention of Adam Dyer at all in any record.

The joys of genealogy George :)

Claire,

I don't know where I found Adam DYER. I'll see if I can re-trace my steps and let you know.

Claire,

I've just done a search for Adam DYER in all my usual places and failed to find him. However, a search for DYER baptisms in Lanteglos-by-Fowey on the IGI from 1720 to 1725 brought him up as the second record. Don't ask me to explain!

Claire,

I've had another search for the marriage of Joseph DYER, but still with no luck. Although I found over 50 instances of the name Sabina, my impression is that the majority of them popped-up in overseas marriages, so I reckon there's a good chance that Joseph met and married his Sabina outside this country. Perhaps both he and Adam joined the army. Anyway, neither is a lineal ancestor, so I'll just write-up what we've found and leave it at that.
