hi if u want maybe u can help me with another inquiry..but this time it has nothing to do with sweden or the hansson family... my grandmother's father richard matthews was born in hastings england, he married my great grandmother ella victoria smith on april 6,1921 in manitoba canada..ella's parents were rupert pruden smith and harriet louisa brown..anyways the matthews line is kind of a mystery...and there seems to be two seperate geneologies from different people about richard...the first geneology has him the son of edwin matthews and caroline purkis.. the second geneology i saw has him as the son of william matthews from battle, sussex, england and a mary ann holman..  now if he was the son of william and mary the info i got was.. One of those links goes to this family, with the ages of the parents very different to the 1901 census that I posted:

he was a member of the Northwest Mounted Police here in canada..which later became the RCMP and also served in the First World War too. I would just to get the info clarified..to see which line he actually came from..in regards to parents...and then i can go from there in regards to the search! bye for now. matthew

the reason for the confusion as to richard matthews...was he and ella split and got divorced...and he dropped right off the radar and no one for sure knows about what happened to the family...the only thing i do know is that he also had 3 children with ella. my grandmother marjorie victoria matthews b 1923..canada, nelson matthews, and also dorothy matthews...and there were some rumours that he ended up in british columbia
