Trying to find Dyball

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Am trying to find information about my grandfather's half brother John Henry Dyball. Born in the workhouse in East Beckham in Norfolk in 1873(his mother was Anne Elizabeth Dyball (there was no father recorded on the birth certificate). She died two weeks after he was born and he stayed there until the workhouse closed and then later moved to Scotland (following a period of work in Surrey,) and was married there. I have a note in my grandfather's diary of 1938 to say JH had to retire without a pension so must have been in contact. My grandfather was William Matthew Moore Dyball who was the District Superintendent for the London and Brighton south Coast Railway. He married a Eunice Dora Adams who had been brought up on the Isle of Wight, and they lived in Brighton until his forced retirement in 1923 when they moved to East Sheen near Richmond Park, London. If any of these names ring a bell please contact me, I am very anxious to expand my family tree. Doreen
