Margaret DYER

1796 - Yes, date unknown

 Set As Default Person

• Name	Margaret DYER
  Relationship	with Teresa Ann GOATHAM
  Baptised	26 Oct 1796	St. Andrew’s Church, Whitchurch, Devon, England
  	From PR (seen image) 'Margaret, Daughter of Nicholas and Margaret Dyer'
  Gender	Female
  Residence	From 1841 to 1851	Rix Hill, Whitchurch, Devon, England
  	One house has 2 women - Margaret Dyer, aged 40 and Margaret Carter, aged 24. I believe it was this Margaret and her mother and that an '8' was mis-read as a '2'. There is no sign of a Margaret Carter, aged about 84, anywhere, yet her burial shows she was still alive, and near enuogh to be buried in Whitchurch.  In 1851 Margaret Dyer is living alone in Rix Hill, the extra data confirming the identification with this Margaret, now alone because her mother had died in 1848.
  Died	Yes, date unknown
  Siblings	2 sisters

  	From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 2 May 2023) Shows Nicholas Dyer and Margaret Matticott were both 'of this Parish', no marital statuses or occupation given, married by Licence. Nicholas signed, Margaret made her mark. Witnesses Edwd:[?] Bray and Robert Matthews both signed (Robert Matthews a witness to many marriages in Whitchurch at this time so probably Parish Clerk)   From DFHS transcribed data I thought a Nicholas Dyer had married Ann Smith in Whitchurch in 1779, but with PRs available it appears banns were read on 11 and 18 April, then the 3rd reading not unitl 6 June. (I don't think this is simply an error in the month, as Banns were always read on a Sunday, and 6 May was not a Sunday. The Banns for another couple were read in May, so it is not clear why those for Nicholas and Ann weren't. Maybe there had been some uncertainty about whether the marriage could or would go ahead. If so this seems to have resurfaced as it seems NO marriage followed. (The Banns show both Nicholas and Ann were of Whitchurch, so that is where the marriage should have taken place, but the PRs have no such marriage, nor a missing page ...)
