Hi Yorkie and Jack,

I have been working on something re Richard Wellington Matta on another thread

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,346345.new.html#new

I am afraid Jack is quite wrong with the marriage he has provided here. Richard Wellington MATTA's name can be explained - his mother was a Wellington or derivative 

Richard Wellington MATTA was the son of Stephen MATTA and Elizabeth WILLINGTON who married Sep 1/4 1845 St Austell 9 11.

The family are in St Anthony in Roseland in 1851 - Stephen, Elizabeth, 2 daughters and Stephens brother Richard

Elizabeth WILLINGTON was born in Gorran about 1823 (consistant in the census) Prior to marriage she is in Gorran in 1841 aged 18 - she is a FS - not living with her family. (WELENGTON) I see the family. (WILLITON) Richard 45, Ag Lab, Mary 41, Peter 14, Fanny 9, Richard 4 and Mary 3 in Gorran along with Elizabeth PILL 80 Pauper HO107/145/2 Folio 30 Page 2

Records seem to be WILLITON

Richard WILLITON = Mary PILL 26 Dec 1820 Gorran

Elizabeth WILLITON was baptised Gorran 7 Apr 1823 Parents Richard and Mary

siblings

John WILLITON 10 Apr 1825

Fanny WILLITON 29 Apr 1832
Richard WILLITON 28 Aug 1836

The family are in Gorran in 1851 Richard WILLATON is age 55 b Bodmin, 1861 Richard WILLATON 64 b Bodmin

Richard WILLITON was baptised 1 Jan 1796 Bodmin son of John and Grace
