Whitchurch and Wellington Shropshire - Mathers or Mathars

[BaileyAnge]

I have a christening record for my 2nd great-grandfather - Thomas Mathars for 20 Nov 1813 in Whitchurch, Shropshire. It states that his father was Joseph Mathers, a farmer and his mother was Elizabeth (probably Beddows). I cannot find any other children so I would like to know if anyone has access to the Whitchurch records of around that time.
In 1841, Joseph 65, a corn inspector, and Elizabeth 60 or 65 are living in Riddal Heath, Tarporley, Cheshire and in 1851 Elizabeth, now a widow, is living with Thomas and his family in Church Lane, Tarporley. The 1851 census states that she is 74 and was born in Wellington, Shropshire (ie born c 1775).
I would be grateful for any more information about Joseph and Elizabeth and their families.
[NB I was confused by a similarly named family in Ellersmere, but that Elizabeth was 10 years younger).
Many thanks
