My Great Grandfather gives his place of birth consistently on census returns as Switzerland.
His name was Joseph George Dyke and my first record of him is his marriage in Cardiff in December 1899. He is 30 years old at the time and a shop assistant.
He gives his father as Henry Dyke (Deceased) Master Mariner.
My great aunt seems to recall Bern mentioned as a place of birth, but she isn't sure about this.
The witnesses on the marriage certificate are both cardiff men, and i cant seem to find any other Dyke's from Switzerland on any census returns.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how i can move backwards from here?
