Nottinghamshire / Re: Austerfield Murder 1828

This conversation is fascinating. I believe I'm a descendent of William Dyon (murderer) via another of his sons George Dyon. I believe both he and his mother Sarah Senthouse immigrated to Canada sometime after the execution of William and John. I can appreciate why they would want to flee the country! They first appear in the 1851 census of Canada West, Lennox and Addington.
George Dyon later immigrates to the U.S. (Chicago) and names two of his sons William and John, so perhaps he thought they were innocent? I have attached the ballad of William Dyon (a broadside) in case anyone is interested.
Can you tell me which parish you find the burial of John Diyon (the father of William murderer)? I would like to try to take my family tree back further if I can. Many thanks!
