I see what you mean, Jackie.  From the Archives website it doesn't look as though there's anything old enough, but I'll ask next time I'm in there. 

A shoemaker should have been apprenticed to someone to learn his trade. Maybe there are apprenticeship records, though I can't see anything on A2A.

Hallo Lesanne

I'm so sorry that I haven't looked at Rootschat for ages, and so didn't see your message til today.

I got William's marriage to Elizabeth Matthews from the Oxford record Office, looking at the St Peter in the East register:

June 1st 1830 after Banns. He a batchelor OTP, she a spinster OTP. Witnesses Thos Bowell and Hannah Bowell (her mark). On the Banns,her surname is spelt with only one T.

I'm still looking for the birth of Richard Matthews, her father, and wonder if the birth in Down Ampney 1766 could be right. D. A. is pretty close to South Cerney.
If his father is shown as a shoemaker, it might be a clue!!

Its all very frustrating.............
Jackie

I only know what you know sadly; I am descended from Elizabeth’s younger brother James born 1818. He was also a bookmaker.
