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.

We will all be very interested in seeing your final product.  Any way any of us can assist?

I am related --very likely-- to John Matthews (1804-79), formerly 51 Lower Clanbrassil Street and am trying to communicate with Christine Page.  John appears in Griffith's Valuation as owner of property at Clanbrassil Street, and the Will of Margaret McCabe (1845-90) speaks of him as her husband, and the Will also recites a reference to the Clanbrassil Street Property. I haven't seen his Will and Codicil, as yet.

The John Matthews you seek is buried in Mt Jerome Cemetery, along with John Henry Matthews (1865-67), Isaac Matthews (1871-76), John Matthews (1804-79), William Henry Matthews (1868-88), Mabella Louisa Matthews (1845-93) and William Henry Matthews ( 1831-98).

According to baptismal record at St Kevin's Church, Harrington Road, John Matthews and Margaret McCabe are parents of my great aunt, Margaret Matthews (1877-1960) [dates revised/corrected 2 Mar 2012 by fxm], and possibly parents of Elizabeth Matthews, my maternal grandmother, as well. Elizabeth married Patrick Doran of Kiltealy, County Wexford, Ireland.  My mother is Ellen Doran, born Hardwicke Street, 1904 and came to Boston in 1910.  Mom passed in 1966.

I have a record of a Patrick Matthews of 50 Lower Clanbrassil Street, Dublin.  Can anyone tell me who Patrick is? With Margaret Mitten he supposedly parented one Elizabeth Matthews, also on record at St Kevin's, d/b August 1866.

You folks sure have done a lot of work on the Matthews/Mathew/Mathews families

Hi,
My name is winnie Looby.  My grand mother was johanna wade married to Edmund Looby, Ballinree.  I'm sure we are related as I know I am related to the Wades of Thomastown and Tommy Wade and my father were first cousins.  My great grandmother would be Breen, do you know her first name and what her mothers surname and fathers surname was.  I hope you  and your family are keeping well.

Kind regards,

[silveryfox]

Hi Itmatt

My interest in Edmund arises from a note I'm writing on the history of Blockhouse Island, a fortified island in the mouth of Carlingford Lough (in County Down, Northern Ireland). The blockhouse has generally been believed to have been built in or before 1604, however my researches have (I think!) revealed it to have been built around 40 years later under the direction of Edmund Mathew, who was at the time Governor of the town of Newry, and of the outlying garrisons of Narrow Water and Carlingford. His Governorship was sponsored and funded by James, Marquis of Ormond(e), his relation via his brother George, and Charles I's Lieutenant General of Ireland.

I'm embarrassed it has taken so long, however I'm also relieved to say I have posted the article mentioned above - please see http://www.oldwarrenpointforum.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=10667&p=97215#p97215

Hi! You wrote about Rev. Robert Mathews...born 1798 Cashel. Is this the same Cashel as found on the Townland of Creevamoy (very near the Village of Broughshane, which is 2 miles thereabouts from Ballymena) in Co. Antrim? I have a Wm. Graham who married 2nd to a Sally Morton in 1846 in Kirkkinriola, Ballymena...and the marriage was performed by Rev. R. Matthews. Wm was living on the Townland of Creevamoy, and some of my Gordon's clan also on Creevamoy, but they always cited their area on Creevamoy as "Cashel". Why I am inquiring. I am seeking to find out the church in which Wm and Sally were married, thinking it may have been St. Patrick's in Ballymena. So I am doing some hunting around certain information known. Thanks much for any reply. Michelle
