Dear Listers,
Still looking for the ancestors of William MATTHEWS, born Bristol 1816 but
settled and married in Brecon St.Davids. Lived at Lion Yard in 1851.
Have found possible birth record in Bristol but under the name of MATTHIAS.
If correct, parents were John and Elizabeth MATTHIAS, born say 1773-1778 in
Bristol. They don't appear on the 1851 Bristol so may have relocated to
Brecon with son William.
Could sks please do a look-up for John and Elizabeth as MATTHIAS and as
MATTHEWS - they may not still be alive in 1851 but if found, it would
demolish a significant brick wall.
Many thanks in advance.
David Matthews (or possibly Matthias!)
