Searching for information on my Gloucestershire ancestors surname MATTHEWS (my paternal Grandfather's name):
JOHN MATTHEWS baptised 15 July 1832, Hartpury. Married Mary Ann Maria Price of Knighton. His siblings were: Margaret or Maryanne; George; Ann; Jemima; Henry; Frances.
Parents: JOSEPH MATTHEWS bapt 27 Jan 1805, Hartpury. Married SARAH DAW bapt 10 Aug 1806, Hartpury. Married 13 Oct 1828, Hartpury.
Their parents:
JOSEPH MATTHEWS bapt 6 Dec 1767, buried 18 Apr 1841 aged '75'?, Hartpury. Married to HANNAH SIMS 19 Aug 1792, Hartpury. Sarah Daw's parents were RICHARD & MARY DAW.
Joseph's parents were I beieve: RICHARD MATTHEWS & MARY BURT, married 12 Oct 1761, Hartpury. He was a widower, both are listed as from this parish. Their children as well as Joseph were RICHARD bapt 23 May 1762 and MARY bapt 26 June 1763. There may be others. I am not certain that either was borrn in Hartpury?
An interesting note: In Hartpury graveyard there is a tombstone to the memory of CHRISTIANA MATTHEWS daughter of Richard and Mary Matthews, the date is possibly October 1753. So maybe she is the daughter of Richard's first marriage, also to someone named Mary?
Any information would be most welcome, and I would be delighted to hear from any distant relatives.
