Hello Mike
It only says "full" when he married in 1885 in Bethnal Green but i know he was born in Bridgwater ,Somerset in 1849. He married Sarah Ann Stock so the man above is not him. His father was a William Dyer, a carpenter. They are very difficult to find. They only appear together in 1851 census in Wales . There are unfortunately alot of people called Dyer but thaks for trying

Hi. In the hope there is an expert on London railway companies out there i want to pose this question. My ancestor John Dyer was a platelayer in Bethnal Green in 1885 ( written on his marriage certificate) and then in 1888 he is a railway platelayer and living at 7 Grove Terrace, Elm Road, Leytonstone ( his job as stated on his daughters birth certificate). As he does not appear on any census before 1891 i thought i could trace him through his job. Does anyone know what railway company he would be working for or are there any suggestions you can make?
Many Thanks
