<title>Help with Matthews Family</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi All.<br />
having problems sorting the Matthews family out</p>
<p>Lionel Augustus Matthews Married Fanny Probyn in 1891 at St Stephens Cinderford, both born Cinderford. No deaths as they died in Llanhilleth.</p>
<p>James Matthews Married Rebecca E.H.Sladen from Bristol in 1860 at Littledean, found their births and Jame's death but cannot find Rebecca's death</p>
<p>William Matthew's B 1806 Ruardean D 1870 Steam Mills Married 1826 Eunice Williams.<br />
William was the Beerhouse Keeper of the Old Engine Pub at Steam Mills till his death.</p>
<p>Ephriam Matthews B 1773 @ Mitcheldean, Married a Lydia ? Ephriam died in 1851 at the Old Engine Pub Lydia Died in 1818.</p>
<p>William Matthews B 1743 at M/dean Married 1764 at M/Dean Elizabeth Fletcher.</p>
<p>Looking for Rebecca Mathews Death.<br />
Looking for Marriage of Ephriam and Lydia and Birth of Lydia.</p>
<p>I have gone back another generation to a William Matthews and Elizabeth Fletcher I think, but there are so many William Mathews that I am now lost.</p>
<p>Help with the Death of Rebecca and Marriage of Ephriam and Lydia would be so helpfull.</p>
<p>Thank you in advance.<br />
Chloe.</p>
