DYER Family

[lullaby]

He was born in the West Indies, 2nd or 3rd generation. It now seems more probable that the family's origins were Irish (not Devon).

This may be totally unconnected, but did any of you DYER experts notice my request for information on Elizabeth DYER  who married William BENNETT on 30 Sep 1747 in Stoke Damerel?

[JaneyCanuck]

Can you give a link to that request please, garlands?

(it wasn't in this thread)


Edit:

In your posts list at your profile, I see these two up top:

Hi Janey,

It was the 20th October posting:-

If anyone come across documents listing slaves in Henry Moreton Dyer plantations across the Caribbean (especially Montserrat) I would very much appreciate the links as I'm completely stuck on my husband's side of the tree...

As far as I know Henry Moreton Dyer's family had Irish roots but lived in Islington, London.

Thanks to Janey's suggestion, I've now pushed back my DYER link to Richard DYER of South Hill, Cornwall, viz.:-

14 Oct 1716 Richard DYER of South Hill m Elizabeth EVANS of Pillaton in St Mellion

05 Apr 1718 Elizabeth dr of Richard DYER bap in South Hill

I checked for Dyer and it returned 11 hits. I haven't cross checked these hits for information already presented for this post.
Note - on one page I found the entry identified by the search key but checking the whole page I spotted a 2nd entry which hadn't been identified and indexed by the search

Thank you very much. I'm still trying to figure out my husband's first ancestors from Montserrat. Our oldest link is Arthur William/Gerard Dyer (born about 1880) who married Elizabeth Bramble.  His ancestors must have been slaves on John Dyer's plantation in Montserrat.
