Another snippet from my GR contact:

Astonishing detective work by all concerned
The whole family were very religious. Dissenters was the name given to their cult.The Pilgrims Progress must have meant a lot to them as Nina May sent me a copy when I was only 5 years.

She has joined Rootschat and I'm working on getting her in contact with Lady Di!

Well done !    That's the way to push up the membership numbers !   I wonder if we'll be able to guess who she is from her chosen name ?

WOW  - it's like Christmas, Easter and Birthdays all on the same day  ;D

AND I was just going to post the letter!!

I received the PM from DianaM's contact and she is a direct descendant of Charles W Matthews  8)

I have offerred to send the book to her and she can then work out who in the family actually gets to keep it.

This has just been so astonishing. RootsChatters have again performed miracles and done themselves proud.

Thank You everyone

It is a wonderful thing that you have managed to do with the help of all the others!  What a great bunch of people!  Fantastic ending to an intriguing story

You must all be so thrilled!  Hope that you at least get a drink out of it!

I hope this photo of Charles Matthews himself will compensate you for all your hard work. I cannot believe you pulled it off in just 5 days. What a fantastic team.  My thanks to you all
