Title: DYKE family in Worcester?
Post by: greensocks95 on Saturday 15 October 11 20:35 BST (UK)
HI..
Wondering if anyone else is researching the DYKE name.  My My Grandfather and Grt grandfather where from Worcester b:1878 and 1842 respectively.
Would love to hear from anyone researching that name
Cheers

Hi Dave

There were 89 people on the 1881 Census with the surname DYKE living in Worcestershire.....  so maybe some more detail might help you connect with the right people.

Cheers

If you haven't already done so, a good way to make surname connections with other members is to enter your surname interests
in the Surname Interests Table (SIT), and to check there whether others are researching these names. 

This can be found at http://surname.rootschat.com/ , there is a link to it at the top of each Rootschat page.

                 (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/Themes/history/images/english/surnames.gif)  (http://surname.rootschat.com/)

The more people who enter their surnames, the more chance there will be of making a connection!

hi..Thanks to all who responded....
Yes,  my Grt grandfather was Edward and my grandfather's name was Francis.  I have all of them but I'm trying to piece the Grt Granfather's siblings and that side of the family together.
It seems that the DYKE's came form Shropshire, namely Ludlow area and then migrated to Worcester around 1800.
The Parish records are hard to find
Thanks again

there is a 23 year old edward dyke in cheltenham in 1841 occ. corkcutter not born in county
i believe this must be the edward dyke who appears on the 1851 census with wife elizabeth
there is a birth in 1842 in chelmsford of an edward dyke
this must be your great grandfather
and i think there is a very good chance that edward/elizabeth are the parents of your great grandfather edward
