Hi Sarenid,
Thank you for all of that. The link to Publicans and Maltsters is a strong one and the there is John Matthews with Mark Williams and Anne(Matthews), his sister, in the Masons Arms Caerleon in 1841. Looks like a trip to the Parish Register. Until then I will follow all the tracks until something clicks.
Best Regards

Monmouthshire / Matthews Family Mamhilad
« on: Monday 04 February 13 19:40 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Sara,
I am looking for the a John Matthews b.1825 Mamhilad and his wife Ann b. 1835 Trevethin. I am wondering if they are members of your Matthews family. I can't find John and Ann until the 1871 Census when they are running the Bridgend Inn in Cwmffrwdoer. There is no sign in the previous censuses. The family rumour is that John's Mother may have been thrown off the farm by her brothers when John's Father died. You know how these stories become elaborated. I'd be grateful if you could give some pointers to the Matthews family in Mamhilad so that I can trace them back. They had William in abt 1858 and Thomas in abt 1860.
Regards Allen
