Not finding him elsewhere or Frederick
Who was James wife please and children in case he was with one of them in 1871?
James Dyke's wife was Martha Huson/Hewson. She died in 1846 [June Qtr].
His son Alfred John Dyke was born in 1841 and died in 1848 in Stepney. James Dyke's daughter Martha Elizabeth Dyke married Joseph Murray in 1854 and these are my ancestors.
Another of James and Martha Dyke's daughters, Henrietta Augusta Dyke, married Basil Hunt in October 1859 in Stepney.
Here is a transcript of the details on the 1851 census [taken from another post I put up about the Dykes in 2006 see here

Georgianna is described as James' "wife" however he is clearly shown as a "widower". Georgianna may well have been born in the Westminster area as the only candidate found so far that fits is a Georgianna Laura Dyke born in Westminster in 1826 and christened there in 1829.
This is what I know about the other children of James and Martha
Narcissus Hewson Henry Dyke married Mary Ann Steward [a widow, maiden name Abbott] in Shoreditch on 10 May 1864.
Frederick Edward Dyke married Eliza Figden in 1882 (she died in 1885) and he then married Alice Browning in 1888. By the time of his second marriage Frederick's father is described as Dead so we know he died between 1864.
From this last marriage it is clear he died between 1864 and 1888.
I don't have my Dyke tree to hand at the moment and I know there are a few other children and marriages.
I will update this post later on with more info.
