*COMPLETE* Matthews Family after 1881
« on: Saturday 04 September 10 01:43 BST (UK) »
Hello

Please can someone find this family after 1881?

George Matthews was living in 26 Peel St, Tranmere, Lancashire. He had been born in Birkenhead around 1856. His wife Emma was age 26 and born in Dudleston, Shropshire around 1855. George was a Railway Fireman. Their baby son James was 1 year old and born Birkenhead. They had 2 boarders: William Gerrard age 20 and William Cunningham age 19, both Railway Stokers and born Ruabon.

RG11 Piece 3585 Folio 38 Page 8

I think George married Emma Morris in Birkenhead in 1878.

P.S. what's the difference between a Railway Fireman and a Railway Stoker?

Thank you very much  :)
Morgan

A cart owner in 1891, Morganllan.

Possibly doing haulage work.  :)

I can't see any real difference between these occupations. Both looked after the fire in a railway steam engine  :-\
