Moses & George Matthews are in my family tree as George Matthews & Jemima Turley's son Richard Matthews 1852 married my 5th cousin twice removed Eliza Roberts 1853 in 1871.

As I often get carried away researching siblings and parents of spouses. I can tell you that Moses Matthews 1844 married Maria Simmonds 1848 on 14 Apr 1872 Drybrook :

Moses Matthews & Maria Simmonds had 5 children that I am aware of including Thomas 1881 who married Laura Albina and they had 4 children.
