 How nice to hear from you. I have found you on the family tree my late uncle gave to me, and am delighted that you got in touch. The whole crux of it is to discover finally who were Rev. Robert Mathews parents, as this has never been done with proof. I am also now trying to find a connection between the Mathews and Beresford's, as the use of the name 'Marcus Beresford' by Frederick Mathews for his son has intrigued me. There must be a reason to use another family's names. I just need to find it, so any info. on that would be much appreciated. Marcus Mathews (Banker in Northern Bank), was joint manager of Henry Street, Dublin. Promoted to manager of Grafton St in 1904 and then further promoted to Secretary of the Northern Bank in 1927, when he moved back to Belfast. This info. is got from "Irish Times" archives, which I can access at the library. I can't tell you how thrilled I am to hear from you, and I'm sure ChrisPage will agree.

I stumbled upon this fascinating discussion by chance but hope I can add a little to it. With reference to the Wade family, my mother is a sister to James and Josie (the last survivor of that generation) and was raised in what was then the lodge house to the Castle. It remains the family farm to this day and is run by one of my cousins. My Uncle James was father to Tommy Wade and his numerous siblings. As a child I visited the famous showjumper "Dundrum" on a number of occasions and Tommy Wade did indeed win a lot of competitions in Europe and the UK. I also visited the Castle a number of times as a child and clearly remember the gardens which were elegant even then (the 1960s and 70s). I have a lot of happy memories of the area and remember Thomastown well although it is a lot bigger these days. In terms of other names that have been mentioned, my grandmother (James' mother) was a "Breen" and related to Dan Breen, the man credited with leading the first armed act of the Irish Uprising. For a time he was one of the most wanted men in Ireland. I have a lot more blather about the families that lived in Thomastown if anyone is interested. Life is strange as my mother now lives near Hickstead after she moved to England. She married my father who owned the farm across the road from the lodge house to the Castle but they left Ireland not long after.

Dear Wyseass,
The same symbol appears on the Mathews Signet rings.
I had one & my Brother,Rodney, had one also.
There could be a connection also, to Masonry, Marcus B. Senior was quite high-up in Irish
Masonry.Exactly what position I dont know.
My Mother was in possession of her Father's regalia,Sword etc. What happened to it all, I dont know,my Brother & I were not allowed to play with the bits & pieces,for obvious reasons!.
OK,
Brian McDonnell.
PS. I have just remembered---my signet ring actually belonged to Marcus B. Senior,my Brothers was a copy.
PPS. My wife & I also have a few pieces of Mathews Silver----Teapot,Cream jug,sugar bowl & cutlery----all with that Symbol engraved
on them,passed-on by Mother.

Tref; Please excuse me for popping in. I am a descendant of a John Mathis born before 1690 in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. John changed his name from Mathews to Mathis when he came to The United States. This is where my info hits a dead end. If you have any information on this man and his parents/family, I would be forever grateful.
Sincerely,
Martha Powell Caparell
