You could get this certificate to confirm Nehemiah's father and Elizabeth's father, and their occupations and look further back with them.

If you want any if these census images let me know.

Hi Jo

You could do with the marraige cert of William Rivers to Elizabeth Harris-
I've had a look through the indexes back to 1904 but can't see it- Did your grandfather live in the F-O-D all his life? Do you know anything more about his parents? Could they have married elsewhere?

There is a possible baptism on this site at Drybrook of William Wallace Rivers to William and Charlotte Rivers in 1887- If you can confirm the father's details from the marriage of William to Elizabeth then we can go back on the census with the family.
