Hi, and welcome!
That does look a really hard problem.
Have you tried looking at other the Dysons born around Darfield? Leah was not a very common name was it? Perhaps you could find a niece? (Straw grasping)

Re: newbie in town
thank you Peterd.
Gardener.. thank you
I have found quite a few Dysons from the same era in Darfield and have not been able to work through them down the census's yet but dont feel very confident that it will glean any info. This is so very frustrating as I would love to take my linage back further.
