I am researching the family of Shadrach Mat(t)hews (b c 1791 and also known as Israel
Mathews), mariner of Rhoscolyn, and Mary Williams (b c 1791 place unknown, possibly
Holyhead or Caernarvonshire according to different censuses. They married at Capel Curig
in 1811. The marriage bond mentions Pontrhydbont in the parish of Rhosgolyn, and I wonder
if this rings a bell with anyone? Shadrach/Israel died between 1851 and 1861.
Their children were:
1. Elizabeth Ann Mathews b c1813 Holyhead Reg who married
William Kinrade in Liverpool 1838 and had a son, William b c
1839
2. Margaret Mathews b c 1825 Liverpool
3. Jane Mathews b 1829-1831
who married 1stly Thomas Kinrade and had 3 children:
Mary Jane Kinrade b 1853 Liverpool
William Kinrade b c1855 Liverpool
Thomas Charles Kinrade b Sep Q 1856 Liverpool
and 2ndly Thomas Hulse and had a further 4 children:
Elizabeth Ann Hulse b 1865 Warrington
Margaret Hulse b c 1867 Newton
Sarah Hulse b 1868 Warrington
Frederick Hulse b c1877 Newton
I realise that most of these people were born/lived in Liverpool, but I am hoping that
someone on the Anglesey List might recognize Shadrach and Mary and have them in their
tree.
I have been able to find a sister Elizabeth for Mary Williams but am interested to
know more about Shadrach's background/ family, so would be delighted if anyone can
help with either the Mathews side or even the Williamses.
Best wishes,
