Benjamin Mattey - Woolhope
« on: Saturday 31 May 08 18:55 BST (UK) »
Hello

Does anyone have access to the Woolhope parish registers? I am looking for Benjamin Mattey born c1795 who married Mary (surname unknown) before 1828 when the first child I know of, James, was born. They had two more children I know of - William in 1831 and Joseph in 1834.

I was wondering if anyone can find any info on Benjamin and this family - marriage or death?

I have what I think is Benjamin's baptism with parents William and Elizabeth in Fownhope off the IGI - but I am happy to be told I am wrong on this one!

I have found them on the 1841 census in Woolhope HO107/421 Folio 2  Page 16, but can't find Benjamin or Mary after that.

There is a possible death for Mary in 1841 Q4 v26 p 144 Ledbury
and two for Benjamin - one in 1868 Q1 v6a p 315 and one in 1852 Q3 v 6a p 271, both in Ledbury.

I cannot find Benjamin on any later census then 1841 though. I also can't find his son James (1828), but the other two sons I can find all the way up to 1901.

Any help would be great

Thanks

Claire
