That was very well found by Cando and Trish.
You can see Elizabeth Harriet's exact home address and a few other bits and pieces on Wilberforce's ww1 record.
The L in his names was for Lidden. Wonder where that came from.

Hi Sue

We really do have a gem with the service records in Australia - I am continually amazed at the information that has been retained & filmed & provided online at no charge

Many thank's cando 

Henry Dyson gave his children very strange names. Wouldn't have a clue where Lidden came from. Thank you so much for your help.  Lyn

I wanted to follow up my posting and let you know, that I have now found a complete new set of very distant relatives both in Australia and Canada.

Many thanks Cando and Trish and Sue for all your help.  Lyn
