=======================

Born; 1780 Mountcashel Waterford

3rd Sub Inspector; 1/7/1824

========================

I came across this while searching for information on a William Henry, and wondered if it was the same person mentioned in an article from NEW york about marriages in Ireland here:

And I eventually found the portrait photo of  Rev. Robert's wife, Elizabeth Catherine Humphreys
that was promised ages ago.

Another wet Sunday afternoon and another shoe box full of Grandfather's  (Reggie) photos.

Text as written on the back of the photo

Ronnie: 13          Father:32              Billy: 14
                            (Altie)

Jill: 8                  Betty: 11              Jack: 7
(Miriam)            (Elizabeth)             (Cecil)


Doing the maths there is no way Altie is 32, taking that he was born in 1898 and died in 1951. 
I have it that if Billy (William Peel Beresford Mathews 1921 – 1979) was 14 when this picture was taken,
then Altie was 23 when Billy was born; so Altie must be 37 in this picture.

Either that or my dates are wrong - which is of course quite possible.

In response to questions about Crests and Signet rings, my family are all given a signet ring on our 21st birthday.  It bears no resemblance to anything I have found for the Mathews family, but seems to be something to do with Frederick Albert  « see top image in Reply #26 on: Saturday 03 January 09 20:29 GMT (UK) »

Has anyone else seen this before ?

I know I promised to dig this photo out ages ago, but at last I found it in a shoe box inside a blanket box in the spare bedroom while poking around looking for our wedding album to show the kids !

This is a photo taken in the early 1960's of an oil portrait of the Rev Robert Mathews M.A. (T.C.D) - not sure what the T.C.D. is.  Some notes with it from my Grandfather (Reginald Russell) state 'Born 1798 Cashel' and 'brothers Thomas and James'

That's it for now - Enjoy!

Hi Maria,

welcome aboard, it is great to make contact with another branch of the family.

I had this photo on another web site I was creating but had to abandon it unfortunately.

This is all the people from the census in 115 Grafton Street Dublin.

I found this reference to the marriage of the eldest daughter of  Rev. Robert Matthews Ballymena in 1857 at http://www.irishinnyc.freeservers.com/photo.html

August 11 at Ballymena, William HENRY, Esq., sub-inspector of constabulary, Ballyshannon, to Kate, eldest daughter of the late Rev. Robert MATTHEWS, of Ballymena.

I have information handed down through various family members trying to trace ths lot, that the Rev. Robert had 2 sons and a daughter, but we never knew the name of the daughter.  I am interested to see that the reference is to the eldest daughter.  Does this just mean she was the eldest child, or that she was the eldest of more than one daughter ?  If it is the latter then this does not tie in with the details I have.

anyway, thought it might be of interest.

Thank you very much for all of this detail, it is extremely interesting and ties up with what I currently know, but with a few extra goodies.

Having said this, I am especially interested in your comment about Elisha (2nd)

Quote from: nerys-wales on Sunday 11 January 09 17:23 GMT (UK)

Ellisha Mathew married James Wade from an equestrian family and they set up a stud farm at Thomastown which still exists today.


Can I ask where this can be confirmed ?  I have looked for ages but never found anything like this link to Ellisha being married.  If true (and I have no reason to believe otherwise) it means the current information I have about the parents of Rev. Robert Mathews looks completely wrong - as you intimated earlier.
