I am researching a branch of the DYER family that originated in Burnham on Sea in Somerset, England.
The earliest official document is the marriage certificate of Benjamin Dyer and Louisa Popham who were married on March 30th, 1844. Benjamin was born in Burnham on March 5th, 1814, but nothing is known of Louisa.They had six children and my great grandfather, William Henry Dyer, was born in Burnham on July 31st 1857.He married Fanny Pitman on April 8th, 1882. I would be interested in knowing more of this marriage.
The Dyer family still lives in and around Somerset, though some of us have travelled afar (my brother Chris lives in Canada).Much of my work on the family history has been carried out remotely from Australia but I intend to do some serious on-the-spot research in England in August 1999.
I would be very interested in any information that comes to hand and I am willing to share the results of my research thus far.
