I have started to reserach my family history and have traced the Dyers and Hueate (Hewitt?) families from the mid-1600s to the late 1700s in the Eaton Bray area and specifically an association with Bellows Mill. Any information would be much appreciated. Thanks, Mike

Hi Mike,
I have been researching the Dyer Family as well, because my Grand Mother was a Dyer. I have gone back to John Dyer and Elizabeth Hewett, and cannot seem to go any further back. John was from Hertfordshire, maybe Sarrett or Rickmansworth. They were definitely married at Little Gaddesden on the 8th of May 1703. It then becomes a bit sketchy from there, I am in regular contact with Vanessa in Australia and she has filled in a few gaps. Good hunting. Colin.

Hi Ive also traced the Dyer's back to John Dyer and Elizabeth Hewitt. The lease of the Mill was left to John and Elizabeth in Elizabeth's father's Will.

I cant get any further back than John Dyer either. Great that you have got the marrage at Little Gaddesden Colin, thats something I didnt have.

Great extra information. Thanks.

Hi Liz,
The information I have on John Dyer's marriage, is that he was twenty six years of age at the wedding. If that is true, that would put his birth at 1677. He wasn't born in Sarrett, but he certainly came from there to Eaton Bray. If you don't mind me asking, but which side of the Dyers are you connected with. Regards Colin.

My great grandmother was Eliza Dyer and my research has left me stranded in Sarrett but I have lots of information if anyone is interested in the Bellows Mill side of the family

Hi Lynette,

I am always interested in find more information on the Dyers of Bellows Mill.

Most of my information can be found at ancestry.com  (66ness) There is also information on my gr grandmother in the history section on here under Peter and Ethel Pieraccini.  (Ethel May Dyer).

Eliza Ann Dyer 1865 - 1901 was my gr gr grandmother. Parents Richard and Phillis.

Is this the same Eliza your related to?  If yes who was your grandmother or grandfather.. that was of Eliza's children.
