Dye Family

[swampinstein]

  Thanks for that info...I hardly had any info on Joseph and Frances, now I have quite a bit to go on.
Frances parents are srill alluding me though....Need a bigger spade to dig I think...LOL

I have found a Fanny Dye. 1805..St Margaret...parents John and Anne

Could Fanny be Frances?

This fanny Dye had a sister Mary Dye who married a John Robinson
Joseph Robinson had a brother John....do you think I could be clutching straws here?

Dye is not the most popular name...so two Dye women marrying a Robinson seems a good bet to me.

However my John Robinson was born 1799 Blaby and the birth date for the John who married Mary Dye is 1801....I know dates could be wrong back then.....If I could find that the John who married Mary Dye was born Blaby I would know I am on the right track.....Any help would be great

John and Anne Dye had 3 children bapt at All Saint's, Leicester, in 1801, 03 and 05  (Elizabeth, Mary and Fanny). Then there's a Sarah DYER b All Saints to John and Anne DYER in 1807 (?error in transcription? there are no other Dyer baptisms at all).

These were followed by a further 7 baptisms to John and Ann (no E) Dye (?same couple) at All Saints between 1812-1826 (that is a long gap between Fanny, or Sarah, and the 1812 bapt). Julia, Harriet, John, Ann, Henry, Francis and Francis William.  It might be possible to track some of these in the 1841/51 censuses just in case an aged parent is living with them!

There are no other DYE baptisms on the Leic Churches index from 1558-1837, so if this is Fanny's/Frances's family, presumably they moved into the town from elsewhere before 1801.

1841 - John, Ann and Henry Dye were living in Wharf St, St Margaret's; John and Henry (age 60 and 15) were stocking makers and John was born out of county.

Ann was only 35 so I would suspect that she was a second wife for John?

Further up Wharf St in 1841 were John and Frances Dye, both age 20, with a 1 year old Abraham with them.

Unfortunately I can't see John or Ann after 1841, although the next generation of Dyes was increasing rapidly!

Thanks Annie, I will check these out and see if I can connect them to my tree
