Hi Jeff and Wroglet,

The William Matthews you are searching for was born, I think, on 3/12/1780 and christened 31/12/1780. He married Ann Lee Williams 18/10/1799. His son William was baptised in August 1807. I've been researching this family on behalf of my brother in law, Les Matthews. He is descended from William Foxwell Matthews via Leah and William Matthews. William Foxwell is descended from William's (Land & Property)brother Thomas (baptised 19/5/1778). There has been confusion because in the baptism of William Foxwell, the record gives his father's name as William. Mother is Hannah. I note that Slowhands seems to have unearthed a record which has the correct name Thomas but other parts of the record illegible. The vicar must have made a mistake. Thomas married Hannah Foxwell of Wotton under Edge, hence William Foxwell.

best wishes
