Hello Trish,
Many thanks for your swift reply. There would appear to have been two Matthews families thriving at this time at Comberton and Chesterton/Impington. Whilst I was aware of the baptism at Comberton, I was hoping to trace a similar function at Impington, Samuel's birthplace.
Regards ... Peter
