Did Elizabeth marry- what was your mum's name?
Don't answer the last part of the question of your mum is still alive

Marriage is walsall 1885 its on freebmd, gives you the quarter, you've already got a clue to her maiden name on those census.

[dionysus]

Elizabeth Dyke's mother was Sarah Ann Benton.

Presumably Elizabeth married and had a daughter who married a man named Green?

In 1904 an Elizabeth Dyke married in Walsall, William Parton and Frank Till same page, but I can't find any of these in 1911.  The key is what happened to Elizabeth after 1901.

Oddly, Abraham Dyke, father, crops up at 16 Francis Street in 1901 - widower! - boarder with three children:  Lily, Minnie and Forrie (Florence) Dyke.

Need a bit more to go on.  You could send a personal message.

That's the marriage of Sarah Benton to Abraham Dyke by the way

Geoffrey you wouldn't be able to send any personal messages until you've made 3 postings and as you only joined Rootschat last night it's probably best if we try and stick to info on the boards at first.

Let's see what Geoffrey knows and can tell us when he comes back online later.
