Finding past my Great Grandad with no names/information
« on: Saturday 27 July 24 11:47 BST (UK) »
Hello, I'm trying to find information past my great gran and grandad but have no names.

My great grandad was Joseph Thomas Dyer Born 1892 and died 18/08/1947 (electrocution).

He was married to Beatrice May 1893-1973.

Both living around Kingsland/Leominster in Herefordshire

I have found a marriage record which shows her maiden name was Jones.

They had 3 children - James, Joseph & Fanny

Could anyone help point me in a direction to follow further back?

Thank You

There is a tree at A******y that seems reasonably well-documented going back three more generations.

Wow, Thank you everyone!

Monmouthshire is not too far from where my grandad grew up, so makes sense

I have just signed up to see this link, and it matches what I know of my Great aunt and Uncle, and I have information to pass onto her about the unknown Dyer in her tree

 thank you all so much!!
