Bonjour

According to my research, your Mark Dyer married Anne Moreton at St George's Church, Hanover Square, London about 25 August 1774 - she was the mother presumably of Henry Moreton Dyer.   She seems to have died, possibly in the West Indies, and he then married Mary Hamer (this wasn't her maiden/birth surname - she was a widow) in 1802 at St Mary Abbotts, Kensington, London.   This marriage failed and they separated.   I have a copy of her will - she died in 1812.   This must be Mary Morte.   Her first husband was Joseph Hamer.

I doubt that she is the mother of my Mark John Dyer as she makes no mention of him in her will and I think your Mark Dyer had left Tortola by then.   There is a newspaper article which mentions that Mark Dyer arrived at Falmouth in December 1801 on the vessel Lord Charles Spencer from Tortola.

I didn't know that Caribbeana had been digitalised.   Is there mention of any other Dyers on Tortola in it?

according to the above earlier post. My Mary Hamer is nee Morte? . I have searched for Attwick & Greatheed as an alternative maiden name but have not found anything in years of searching. I have documentation that says Mark Dyer was from Tortola and married Mary Hamer . So why do you think her name was not Morte? Are you the original enquirer about Mary Dyer?

Hello , I may be of help, I am a descendant of Joseph HAMER of Demerara,  I have read a few of your posts am not sure if you can help me. I am new to this rootschat thing and dont know how to post my interests. Anyway I have been trying to establish Mary Hamer's Maiden/birth name . You did mention a possible Birth name ie MORTE for our Mary Hamer / Dyer. I have a copy of Joseph Hamer's Will. I also know that Joseph had connections to Montserrat. He lived in Gosport Hampshire at one time. I have Joseph & Mary's children's names.

Can you get back to me and clarify this mystery.

Thanks so much
