Thanks Jacky.
Here goes, I cannot find Hodevia Dyer after the 1871 census, where she was living with her family in Cinderford, Forest of Dean.
Apart from a marriage record in September 1879 in Salford.
She married Thomas Shiers.
After this date, I have not been able to find them it's as if they disappeared.
Your help would be very much appreciated.
If she's two months on 1861 then she'd have been born February - butthere are no Dyer births in Westbury on Severn at all in that quarter.
The 1871 suggests her and brother Frances H G Dyer are twins (both aged 10) but the 1861 census puts him as two years older - but I can't find a birth for him in either.
I'm trawling census for siblings to see if she shows up but no luck so far...
Here's all siblings etc I've found so far to save anyone doubling up

My God, you ladies are amazing.
I have Francis born Cinderford June 1859, but have never found a birth record for Hodevia.
She had a sister Bertha Louisa who moved to America, fancy them having the same name.
Perhaps Francis moved with her because I've never found him after 1871 either.
Looks like I'll have to get Ancestry subs for America then.
