• DIDSBURY, Fanny (nee Woolfield) 29 Nov 1866 aged 28
. 1st wife of George Didsbury, married 1865
• DIDSBURY, George 20 April 1893 aged 54
. from NZETC, written 1897 .. Mr George Didsbury, who was for 29 years Government Printer at Wellington, was born in Windsor, New South Wales in 1839. When an infant, Mr. Didsbury came with his parents to Kororareka, Bay of Islands, where his father held several official positions. When the rebel chiefs, Hone Heke and Kawiti, raided that township, the Didsburys flew with others to H.M.S. “Hazard” for safety, and that vessel brought them to Auckland. Here Mr. George Didsbury was educated, and subsequently learned his trade. He was apprenticed to Messrs. Williamson and Wilson, New Zealander office, and very early in his career he was entrusted with the printing of Government documents, then printed at that office. When the Government printing contract went to the Southern Cross office, in 1861, Mr. Didsbury was placed in charge of that department, which he superintended till the Government erected their own plant. Mr Didsbury was then appointed second in command; and when Wellington became the seat of Government, and the Government Printing Office became permanently established there, Mr. Didsbury, at the age of twenty-six, became Government Printer. That he held that office for twenty-nine years, until his death, is the strongest testimony to his fitness for so important a post. The first Government Printing Office was a very small and inconvenient place. The next place occupied was burned down in 1891, it being succeeded by the present commodious premises. During the twenty-nine years of his service, Mr. Didsbury built for himself his monument—Blue Books, Hansard, statistics, official publications of all sorts. They are piled up in every office and every library, public and private, throughout the land; they are to be seen in other countries, too; and on each one occurs the monumental inscription, “George Didsbury, Government Printer, Wellington.” In the multiplicity of business, Mr Didsbury found time to attend to other matters. He was a director of the Gear Meat Company and the Palmerston North Gas Company. He was popular in local pastimes, and a member of the Wellington Bowling Club. As a vestryman, churchwarden, and nominator, he was one of the most valued office-bearers of St. Peter's Church. He was also a Justice of the Peace. Mr. Didsbury was twice married. His second wife, who survives him, was the second daughter of Mr. Henry Holmden, one of Auckland's earliest settlers. The family consists of five sons and two daughters.

Wellington Independent, 28 May 1874 A number of trips were made yesterday to the La Hogue, as she lay out in the fairway, in watermen's boats and some few of the immigrants came ashore. The death of an infant named Duffield occurred on Board yesterday. The name of the woman who is now lying dangerously ill is Ashton.
Evening Post, 30 May 1874 We regret to record two deaths to-day among the newly-arrived additions to our population. The first, Mrs Ashton, who was dangerously ill with consumption when the ship came into port, occurred on board the La Hogue; the second was that of a man name Payne, at the Barracks. The La Hogue carried her flags at half-mast to-day.
NZ Mail, 4 June 1874 One of the immigrants by the La Hogue, a married woman named Ashton, died on board the vessel on Saturday. She had, during the past few weeks, been in a very precarious condition and upon the arrival of the vessel her malady had reached such a stage that she could not be removed. Mrs Ashton, who was thirty six years old, leaves six children. During the day another of the immigrants, named James Payne (sic, William Paine) , a gasfitter, aged forty-one, died at the Barracks from dropsy. The remains of Mrs Ashton and those of the child Duffield (son of John & Louisa from Middlesex), who died on Thursday, were interred on Sunday. Payne was buried on Monday.

NZ Times, 5 March 1877
DYER - On March 4, at his residence, Tinakori-road, Joseph Dyer, Resident Secretary of the Mutual Provident Society, in the 57th year of his age, leaving a wife and nine children to mourn his loss.
* Mr Dyer's death will be a severe loss to the Society, for whose welfare he has worked most assiduously. Prior to coming to New Zealand, Mr Dyer was engaged in journalistic pursuits in connection with the 'Sydney Empire,' 'Melbourne Age' and other Australian journals. He was subsequently manager of Greville's Telegraphic branch of Renter's agency at Melbourne, which he left as the successful candidate, amongst a very large number of other gentlemen, for the resident Secretaryship of the New Zealand branch of the Mutual Provident Society. He came to New Zealand in 1870 and by his energy and great ability, he soon raised the business of the branch from a comparatively embryo state, to its present extensive and prosperous condition. He was a man of estimable social qualities, of unassuming disposition and of studious habits. He was extremely popular amongst all classes in Wellington and his valuable services were highly esteemed by his principals in Sydney. Mr Dyer was a man of eminent scientific attainments and devoted himself for many year to the assiduous study of the higher branches of mechanical invention. His chief invention was the single-rail railway, which was at first ridiculed, but ultimately obtained more favourable consideration among scientific engineers and is now largely used in India and other places, though the credit of the invention was appropriated by other engineers in England, who were enabled to command the necessary capital to practically test the invention. He also invented a new plan for protecting the banks of rivers by means of floating groynes and one of his last additions to engineering science was the invention of a new breakwater, presenting cells to the sea-wash instead of a solid surface, his contention being that it presented less resistance to the force of the water, could be built at small expense and would be efficient where the ordinary solid breakwater would be carried away. Mr Dyer shared the fate of the great majority of inventors, his ideas being pirated by others who reaped the substantial results of them. Mr Dyer leaves a widow and a large family and his deceased will be regretted by a very large circle of friends in New Zealand and Australia.
• DYER, Margaret Isabella (nee Mansfield) 2 Jan 1907 aged 67
. Daughter of Samuel Worthington Mansfield (1807-1881), secretary of the Benevolent Society in Sydney and Margaret nee Barnes. Wife of Joseph Dyer above, mother of Henry Worthington Dyer (1869-1892), grandmother of Annie Burnell Dyer (1863-1918) who married Harold Beauchamp so Margaret became the great grandmother of Katherine Mansfield (1888-1923).
