	I wonder if anyone can help me resolve this brick wall? In 1889 my great grandfather William John DYER married Elizabeth Ann BROKENSHA in Truro. He was 25 (so born c1863), he worked as a mason. His father was called John, also a mason. I had found what I thought was his baptism in 1863 in Truro. But for this entry the father is James and worked as a miner. I am trying to find more information about John DYER. I have searched in the 1881 and 1871 census but cannot find a John DYER living in Cornwall, working as a mason that I can be certain is the father of William John DYER. Any pointers would be most appreciated.
