For Robert Dyball

"Eliza Elizabeth Dyball, baptism, 3 Apr 1870, St Margaret, Robert DYBALL, Sarah, fisherman, Scratby, entry 635"

Named as the father in all four of this family's baptisms, a fisherman living at Scratby. Occupation and abode are what separate him from the other Dyball fathers baptising at Ormesby St Margaret in the same decades - Samuel and Jane, also fishermen of Scratby, and James, James Christmas and Christmas. The tree's own Ancestry citation on all four children reads 'Record for Robert Rogers Dyball'; the register never gives him a middle name, so I have entered him as Robert Dyball and left 'Rogers' as an unverified lead. No dates of his own are asserted.

For Sarah

"Eliza Elizabeth Dyball, baptism, 3 Apr 1870, St Margaret, Robert DYBALL, Sarah, fisherman, Scratby, entry 635"

She is recorded ONLY as 'Sarah' - all four baptisms of this family, over twenty years, give the mother's forename and no surname. I have deliberately left the surname empty rather than fill it with a guess or with her married name. Her maiden name should come from the marriage; I searched the FreeBMD marriage index for a Robert Dyball in the Flegg and Yarmouth districts from 1848 to 1852 and found none, so the marriage is probably earlier than 1848 or was registered elsewhere. This is the one thing on family 4782 that needs a human.
