Somebody might like this challenge ...

My auntie had a Gt. Grandmother who originated from France (possibly the South), and who probably came to England to work as a domestic servant.

She married a man with surname Miles - possible birth year for this couple is around 1860. We think Mr. Miles came from the Stroud area. Their eldest daughter, born between 1883-1887 was called Agnes Mary Miles, I found two on FreeBMD but not sure which is the correct one (Derbyshire or Middx). The daughter married Percy Philip Pearce in 1907.

The challenge is that I'm trying to find the correct spelling of the French lady's name. It sounds like "Du Dyer", but could be "Du Dier" or even all one word, e.g. "Dudier".

This French lady (Mrs. Miles) died quite young, and is believed to be buried in Castle Coombe in Wiltshire.

If anyone has any suggestions as to how I might find out more about this lady, I would be most grateful.

I know it's a long shot!

Many thanks

Sue
