Thank you Reggie for sending me the link! I got into contact with Marina through GenesReunited! She is my Mother's cousin from Ipswich. Imagine my surprise to find she lives a four hour drive from me in the USA! We have met in person! So HAPPY I joined this site! Thank you for sharing the link with me - I do appreciate it! :-D

As Chris said, BMD certs cost 9.24 GBP - for this you get a paper copy - they are not online anywhere - well, that's not quite true of church marrs, as sometimes the parish record is online.

(certainly an interesting surname, many variants!, some bits coming on google, romany, not sure if related)

Sorry, no I don't have the certificates. The ones I paid to see apparently didn't save anywhere!! And I didn't write them down as I thought I had saved them. :-(

I have this to go by...

Name: Lucy Ditohn
Age: 3
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1878
Relation: Daughter
Father's Name: James Ditohn
Mother's Name: Ellen Ditohn
Gender: Female
Where born: Ipswich, Suffolk, England

My Grandma told me her mother was Lucy Dyton but the name was also spelled Ditohn. I guess I will have to pay for the certificate to be sure because there are several places where this family has an Emma listed instead of Ellen. Apparently consistency isn't important with the census!
I found a reference to Agnes Ellen Fulcher on Ancestry.com which would make sense concidering the daughter Ellen Agnes Vinyard 1875....but that may not be correct. Can't assume anything in genealogy! There are also references to a Ellen or Emma Rowe as Lucy's mother.

I just noticed you found another spelling for Dyton.....Dytohn! HELP!
So Emma King must be his second wife. Mother of Isabella Dighton/Dyton.

Sorry, I hadn't forgotten....I typed a lengthy reply and lost it when my computer shut down! Thank you Ann and Vicci for doing so much to help me!!
WOW! I appreciate all the help so much!! You have found so much for me to get on with!! I can't believe I forgot to add where Lucy was born and her date of birth! I was trying to include all I thought would be helpful!! Lucy Dyton 1877 to 1922. Ipswich, Suffolk. I am hoping to find a maiden name for Lucy's mother. I have found the names Ellen and Emma for Lucy's mother and I am not sure if they are the same person or two different people. Their birth years are Ellen Agnes Vinyard 1844 and Emma 1843 ....Ellen Agnes mother appears to be Agnes Ellen Fulcher but I am not at all sure this is correct. At some point I am hoping this will make sense to me. I have found I have to keep better records of my searching so I can go back through it. You have given me new spellings for the name Dyton/Dithon that I wasn't aware of! Thank you so much for the help!
