Hi Mike

Unfortunately Phoebe is one that I have no further info on  :o

I have a lot of the Hedges family on my tree but no Phoebe. I also have no record of any Lewis's.

Do you know who's parents Margaret Matthews has. My Granny Patricia Martha Matthews was born in Epson in 1877 might be a connection there, though Granny was born on race day !!

I will do a bit of research on Phoebe and see what I come up with

Lorraine
Hi again,
Family folklore said that Phoebe was a Hedges.
I believe that Phoebe could well be a Mathews, the daughter of James & Fambridge.

I don't know who Margaret Matthews parents were, I'll also look to see if I can dig a bit deeper!

regards

Mike

Hi Mike

I have found a christening record for a Walter Henry Lewis, who's parents were Walter Lewis & Phoebe (no maiden name) on the 6 November 1891 in Elstead, Kingston upon Thames.

Is this him?

Lorraine
Hi Lorraine
Thats him!
Thats the first breakthrough I've had on the Lewis family
Where did you find the christening info?
Also if you have an image could you send it to me at (*), thanks.

regards
Mike

Hi
I am trying to resolve a mystery concerning Phoebe Matthews or Mathews
The daughter of James & Famebridge that you mention above
We believe she was married to Walter Lewis
Their first child was born in 1892, my g grandfather Walter Lewis
We can't find any reference of their marriage.
In fact we were told until recently that Phoebe's name was Hedges not Mathews.

Another person from my tree I am difficulty tracking is Margaret Mathews born 1871 in Epsom
She married Sampson Hoadley (born 1866)

Any assistance would be much appreciated

Regards
Mike
