Thank you M P Griffiths.

I had some of the census data but not all including the 1891 for Richard Matthews, from which I can now add some children. I admit to not pursuing that family, but when you have a Family Tree of over 23000 people you cannot keep track of them all.

For the sake of anyone else following this family I should perhaps explain the George Roberts & Patience Turner entry you have shown for the 1891 Census with Timothy Roberts shown as father:

The parents of Eliza Roberts 1853 who married Richard Matthews 1852 were Timothy Roberts 1825 and Mary Jane Nicholls 1828. They had 7 children (but no George) including Patience Turner Roberts ** baptised 6 Apr 1856 Drybrook. She married George Roberts 1856, son of Abel Roberts 1819 & Anne Trigg 1807.

Whilst I have 364 Roberts and 327 Trigg's in my Family Tree neither Abel Roberts 1819 or Anne Trigg 1807 are related to me - yet. If you follow the line back through siblings it inevitably leads to members of the Marfell family where my main interest lies.

** To explain Patience Turner Roberts name her maternal grandparents were Thomas Nicholls 1802/1853 and Patience Turner 1796/1828.
