We all had to start somewhere :)
I have posted the birth and death of John C MATTHEWS and his parents marriage on the linked thread. His obituary in 1949 referred to him as Jack MATTHEWS.
Your grandmother's sister married Joseph HOLLIWAY.
DARBY Julia
HOLLIWAY Joseph
District Moora Ref#6 1935
I think it would be best if this thread and the linked one were merged to save posting information twice.
I have pm'd you some contact details.

Hello - this post is very interesting - I'm also looking for a connection to the Mathew's family but through Jack's brother Frank J. Mathews of Walgun Station. He is the alleged father of Nancy Corry. Nancy's mother is listed as Thoola @ Maudie. Nancy was removed to Moore River Native Settlement around 1937. Would like to find a DNA connection to the Mathews family to prove the link.

Hello Lee,
Welcome to RootsChat :)
I have just had a note back to say that Jaime is no longer picking up his emails currently, it looks like he has changed jobs and not updated his email address. The other folk in the thread will be notified and maybe that will be able to let him know your message.
Stay safe
Sarah
