Edith Dyer (née Uffindall) (c.1884 – 1 March 1919)
Edith was born in Doncaster and was the daughter of William and Annie. William was a coach painter and the family lived in Doncaster (1891) before moving to Blaby with Hexthorpe, just outside Doncaster (1901). Aged 17 she was working as a sewing machinist and living at home. Edith married Harry Dyer in 1905 and they had at least two children: Dorothy (1907-1928) and Eric (1913-1941). Harry was a grocer when they married and they lived in Abergele, Denbighshire (1911) before moving to Cambridge where Edith died aged 35 years old.
Harry Dyer married for a second time in July 1921 to Annie Marriett (1893) and they had one son: Neville Binns (1924-2003). In 1939 the family were living at 11 Cottenham Road where Harry was a documented as a commercial representative.
