So 6 years in and still none the wiser.
Now my 3rd great grandfather is a mystery. To save any time, I know about each and everyone of his children and their children and their children
But he is a mystery.
So I have him on 3 census 1891 says he is alien Switzerland. 1901 says he is alien Switzerland.
And 1911 a month before he dies, which I believe he wrote this one himself, says Germany! All while living in London.
Next puzzle, his wife, their is no marriage that can be found, and wonder if it could of been in France, which I will explain why.
Their 2nd child born 1984 have a birth record in French if anyone one like to see, says Paris, so maybe they could of married in Paris.
He was a Stonemason by trade, and wonder what they could of been doing in Paris? The birth record for 2nd child has an address, which I have tried searching, but nothing comes up.
The rest of the children were all born in London and again I know all about their pasts/futures.
So before I give he's and he's wives details, I will also add, I could not find any nationalization record, or any shipping record, wonder how they got to Paris and back, as the 3rd,4th,5th and 6th child all born back in London.
He seems from the one photo I have a distinguished gentleman, he paid into a work trade union which I found a record off and his cause of death.
So I have his name as William Otto Morsty Mathis born 1858 and died 10 MAY 1911
and his wife Ellen Jane Gough born 1858 4 Plough Court, Saint Clement Danes and died 27 JAN 1907 Wandsworth.
I thought their must be a shipping record or something somewhere if they were in Paris too, the birth record mentioned them both as husband and wife in Paris.
Anyone feeling brave is welcome thanks :-)
