I am looking for any descendants of the Dyball family. Digby & Susannah Dyball are my husbands g/grandparents from Oxford. They had 8 children and the only 2 children I cannot trace are Elizabeth married in 1902 and Jane who married in 1904
I would be very grateful for any help thank you Delysia

"Elizabeth married in 1902 and Jane who married in 1904"

As you have already researched this - who did they marry and where? Have you found them on the 1911 census, or used freebmd to see if they had any (further?) children after then?

Look to see if you can identify marriages for John Herbert Rossiter and his brother William Henry Rossiter, hopefully still in the Bristol area.
