Hello Jan. thanks for searching.

How did you get the St Pancras workhouse records - I tried LMA on Ancestry and can't find. What am I doing wrong?  :)

I thought I would continue this thread, in the hope that some fresh eyes might help.

I've still had no luck finding other sightings of the Mathesons, namely

Duncan Matheson born Edinburgh c1820
Elizabeth (or Betsy) born Newtown, Hants near Newbury 1827
Robert Henry born 7 May 1857
Elizabeth born St James, Westminster 29 Jan 1856 

apart from the possible death of  daughter Elizabeth Mattheson, Q1 1867 at St James, Westminster aged 10.

I suspect their 1861 census entry is on the missing pages for the Berwick Street area in St James, Westminster.


Elizabeth Matheson nee Richmond had an illegitimate daughter Emily Richmond born 1 Jan 1846 at Speen near Newbury. In 1851 and 1861, Emily was living with her grandmother Lucy Richmond in Newbury.

I think Emily used her stepfather’s name (as Mathewson) when she married William Gibbins [sic] at Christ Church, Lancaster Gate, Westminster on 9 Feb 1873.

The Gibbons couple returned to live in Newbury.


Please could someone find Emily living with her mother and stepfather in 1871  :D
