Hello I have recently started to research the Ballinderry Becketts who were I reckon related to your Matthew. Beckett is an uncommon name, as is Matthew, and as they all lived in the same area, I cannot believe that there wasn't a common ancestor. I have traced my line to a Mathew born mid 18th century, married 1791 and died c1839. I have also pieced together some of your line. Hoping you find this comment soon!
