Duberley/Matthews (General)

William Matthews b. ca 1795 was my 4X's great grandfather. I am descended through his son, Elijah, b. 1819 in Ruardean, and then through Elijah's son, Thomas, b. 1845 in Ruardean. My great grandfather, Thomas Reed Matthews, b. 1867, came to the U.S. in 1891. I, too, believe that the William who married Hester/Esther Duberly in English Bicknor in 1813 was my ancestor. However, I am not certain that the Hester/Esther born to John and Betty Duberly was the same person who married William. Does anyone have documentation or information in your family tree that substantiates that? Also, Esther appears without William in the 1841 census index. She is with her children, Elisha, Elijah, Esther, Joshua, Caleb, Ephraim, and Thomas. Does anyone have William in the 1841 census index? Thanks for any help you can give me. Sue
