I am looking for help to find the maiden name of George's bride!
He married Harriet Ann in the registration district of Thakeham in 1875 (Q4) but the only records I have found show her as Harriet Ann Dyer so i am guessing this is wrong.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
???

There is a Harriett Ann Dyer for Oct/Nov/Dec 1875 Thakeham - but no George Dyer on the same page.
The grooms are George Oliver and James Joyes, so Harriett Ann Dyer married either of them.
-
Was the wedding definitely in Sussex?
There is a George Dyer
Cuckfield Sussex
1st quarter 1870
2B 165
On the same page is a Harriet Goacher
Sorry - ignore that, just found him in the 1871 census, he married the other person on the page Mary Ann Nye.

When you say the only records you have found show her as Harriet Dyer. which records are they? Have you found them with any children, if so one of the children's birth certificates would show Harriet's maiden name.

Am I missing something?
I can't find a marriage for George Dyer in Thakeham at any time in 1875 ???
Could you give us the reference?

There appear to be only 2 marriages in Sussex between 1837 and 1881 of a George Dyer to a possible Harriet. The one I gave you by mistake and one in Dec quarter 1861in Hambledon possible bride Harriet Mitchell.

Hi All!
Thanks for the info so far. I am now thinking I have some generation mix ups with my original query.
I believe George Oliver married Harriett Dyer. They had a daughter called Ellen Edith Oliver who married Fred May Dyer. Fred's father was called George Dyer! But that then brings me the question - was Harriett reated to George Dyer?? How are they related?? If they are (and it would be a really huge coincidence if they weren't!) then these 2 families are intertwined!!!
Confused!!!

Are you sure his father was George Dyer?
Ellen Edith Oliver married Fred May Dyer 1904 East Preston
Fred May Dyer was born June quarter 1880 Portsea Island Hampshire.
1901 census RG 13/ 978/93/33 Portsmouth
John C Dyer 55 Shipwright Littlehampton
Lucy Dyer 58 Portling
George B Dyer 25 Landport Hampshire
Fred M Dyer 20 Engine fitter Landport Hampshire
POB and occupation fit with later census.
You need to find if there is any connection between Harriet Dyer and John Dyer,
-
According to the 1891 census, Ellen was born in Worthing in 1879. Her mother Harriet Oliver (nee Dyer) was born in Littlehampton - same town as John Dyer.
I cant find Harriet or John in earlier censuses at the moment

There is a tree on Ancestry that has John Cooper Dyer born Littlehampton 1845 son of George Dyer born 1803 and Harriet Cooper born 1808
1861 has this family in Littlehampton with the youngest child a H Ann Dyer born 1855 - possibly Harriet Ann Dyer? You'd need to check this
RG 9; Piece: 615; Folio: 187; Page: 34
If correct I think that makes Ellen Oliver and Fred Dyer cousins
