MATHEWS in Dublin/New to this board

[jaybelnz]

  Thank You Shane.  Really good that you have done that for me. Wow - that was quick.
I had trouble in deciphering the Street name Aungier from the Cert.I have, that's why I was looking at possibility of Aughrim as well, so that's great.  Also Robert Potter's address of Bell Villa on Heytesbury Street was a bit hard to read, I had read it as Dale Villa.  Now that has solved both of those for me. Thank You so much. I really appreciate your help.

both addresses are difficult to read, but I'm reasonably certain of the one for John Potter as there's is a street named Belle Villa off Heytesbury street, although he is not listed as the principle occupant in either 1850 or 1852. Both listings show a Mr. Frederick Rosborough as the householder.

The address for the bride is more difficult, but I think begins with Aun then a possible g... followed by a squiggle... and a lost dot for an i.

I checked Aughrim Street just to be sure... and there seems to be no number 47 on the street during the 1850, as the numbers skip from 40 to 107. Maybe part of the street was being redeveloped at the time?

I think it looks more like Aungier as well. Aughrim was the other street in the directory that I looked at, but talking about the lost dot - there is one above and between Aungier & Street, and same thing over the Annie - the dot is above the n next to the i in Annie. 
Thanks Shane - much appreciated.

Hi E,

I noticed an email to you from Paul Breslin, who is my first cousin. I am in Australia, and was chasing information about Toby Breslin, my maternal grandfather.  He died in 1974, I never met him, but visited not long after his death.  His wife was Agnes who I did meet and stayed with in late 74/ early 75.

My email is ^(*)

Appreciate your help.

Regards Marty

Marty, I think we were in touch some years ago.

As this thread is about the Mathews family, we should chat about this on a separate topic.
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=502400.new#new

Then maybe you'd post 2 more messages on THAT topic, and we'll be able to chat through private messages, or email.

regards eadaoin

just wondering if you had traced anything in later records about the birthplaces for John G., Sarah A. and/or Phoebe .. did they stay in Ireland or emigrate somewhere ?

Hi Shane, don't know any more about Sarah or Phoebe, or their father Henry Maxwell Mathews, other than what I found on their marriage certificates.  I did however get some English census info in reply to a message board post on Ancestry (or it may have been Genforum) some time ago, which gave me a Portarlington Ireland birth for Mary Jane Fleming and a Newatt Ireland birth for John Gibbons Mathews. Ronnie Mathews (no relation unfortunately) hasn't been able to turn up anything in Portarlington for me, and I'm a bit stumped with Newatt - thought it may be Newrath or Newry??  Could the Portarlington also be a corruption or incorrectly transcribed maybe??
Copy and paste of that info below.
THESE ARE OUR MATHEWS – BUT INCORRECTLY TRANSCRIBED  as MASTERS.  Sent to me by    Charlotte EDWARDS IN VANCOUVER.
Dear Jeanne,
I was doing a search for my Henry Masters in 1861 index and found one
that was the correct age in the 1861 for Sheffield (county of Yorkshire) Piece 3496
folio 49F.Thinking it could be my Henry Masters, I listed all the ones on that folio:
 John G Masters age 43 bn Ireland
 Mary J    "         age 43 bn Ireland
 Henry M D "     age 14 born Hounslow, MDX
 Mary G     "    age 12 bn Hounslow, MDX
 John R    "         age 10 bn Manchester
 Robert W   "    age 5  bn London, MDX
I haven't actually looked at that image, but I thought it was worth a
further look.
The birthplace wasn't right but since he lived in Middlesex by 1871,
I thought I would check him out in the 1871 on ancestry.
On Ancestry, the surname is transcribed as "MATHUE" for Richard
and MATHUES for all the rest but when one looks at the 1871 image
the surname is actually MATHEWS
RG 10 Piece 677, Folio 173 p. 39 Lambeth London
   (address looks like 12 Bunily Pl)
   Eccl. District St. Michael

Henry M Mathews (25, head,  occ. accountant),  My G-gfather
  Jane (27, wife bn Sheffield),
  Alice (2, daur bn London),
  John J (Father, 53, no occ bn Newatt, Ireland),    my John Gibbons Mathews
  Mary J (Mother, 53, bn Portalington, Ireland),     my Mary Jane FlemingRichard (brother, 21, railway clerk bn Manchester),
  Robert (brother 15, no occ bn Bristol)
  Julia Stacey, (servant, 17, domestic servant, bn Bristol)
Thats about the extent of what I have, after Sheffield I lost track of John Gibbons and Mary Jane, although I have the movements of most their children tracked.
Thanks,Jeanne

Oh, I just thought of something else!  At the time of her 1845 Dublin Marriage,  Mary Jane Fleming  - Usual Place of Residence -stated to be Triton Terrace Irishtown. Her father David Fleming was an Officer in Royal Irish Artillery - could that possibly have been a Barracks maybe?
