Information about Mary Dyer prior to her marriage to William Dyer is virtually unknown as is information about her activites in England after 1651 and before her return to Boston in 1657, other than that she became a follower of Fox. I would like to discuss with others any efforts being made to learn more about Mary Dyer's family and activities in England. Tiphys 03:43, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article needs an upgrade
There is a useful article in Oxford Dictionary of National Biography by Catie Gill, ‘Dyer , Mary (d. 1660)’, giving several reliable-looking references, including American National Biography.
However ODNB makes no mention of the two references given under the heading "Publications" in the WP article. Are they reliable? Usually in WP articles, the heading "Publications" refers to publications by the subject of the article. As Mary Dyer is a notable person in American and Quaker history, an upgrade would be most beneficial,especially if fuller references were provided. It would be good tohave an illustration of the Boston sculpture of Mary Dyer, rather than the 19th C print, showing her in an improbably submissive posture. === Vernon White (talk) 00:22, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
