Sorry i'm so slow with information, too many other things to do! This is one of the documents I mentioned in my first post. Education was not cheap even then! The top paragraph reads "An acc't of What money has been Expended on the Education & Maintenance of Francis Mathew, Son of Thomas Mathew Esq: from June 1752 being the time of his going into England in Company with the Right Hon'ble the Lord Viscount Fitzwilliam, to the year 1760, No Charge being made here for his Maintenance Clothing and Education from May 1746 to June 1752 during which time he was maintained, Clothed and Educated by Richard Mathew Esq his Grand Father"
The total sum was for £436.1s.7d. This included a sum of 10s 4d, 6 months wages to Ball Carrol for his attendance on Francis, I assume he was a servant.

I have just come into the posession of a number of legal documents relating to George Mathew of Thomastown, dated 1650's onward, relating to land transfers, loans and the like. These are amongst several hundred documents of all sorts dating from 1603 up until 1890's of many different surnames, I am still going through them but some relate to the Duke of Ormond, some relate to George Mathew in Llandaff, and as I have only just discovered this site it seems they may be of interest to you all. I will be trying to catalogue as many as I can over the next few weeks, but some are quite difficult to read. I will try to get them in some sort of date order.
