Hi Kenneth

Bob has already responded about sister Margaret Evelyn Mabel Matthews, which has added to the information I already had, I knew she was born 9 Jul 1887 and died 16 March 1948 IL. USA. I didn't know Guy Fuller's full name or precise details of marriage or children. But as they are only "connected" to me, not related, I suppose that's fair enough !! My real connection is with Thomas,s brother Elijah 1850 who married Ellen Marfell. Also of course Eliza Read's mother Letitia Read nee Yemm; 3 of Letitia Yemm's siblings married Marfell's - they get everywhere !!

I can perhaps add to the story with Thomas Matthews 1844. When Eliza Read was buried Drybrook 22 November 1899, Thomas went on to marry widow Mary Price nee Trigg 31 Aug 1901 Drybrook. Mary baptised 11 Nov 1850 was the daughter of William Trigg 1802 and Ann Dean 1806. She had previously married John Price 1848 1st March 1870 Drybrook. My connection here is that William Trigg 1802's brother George Trigg 1796 married Lucy Marfell 1797. Also William Trigg 1802's brother Benjamin 1791 married Elizabeth Roberts 1795 3rd cousin 4 times removed.

I am afraid I have no information about the death of Harriett Read.
