Matthews Fairground Family.

[bdh92]

Hello,
I’m trying to do some research on my mates family.
The little they know is that their grandmother Ada Turner’ (born Abt 1906) Granfather was a Fairground Matthews.
This is what they gave me.
Ada 1906-1986 siblings Henry , Maggie ( lived in Enfield Wembley), Mary and sister(cue dodgy spelling done phonetically ) payshee . Their grandfather was surname Matthews.
Not much to go but does it ring a bell with anyone?
Cheers.
B

The Index in Frances Brown's recent book "Fairground Destiny" mentions lots of Matthews:

Alice, Amy (nee Davies), Amy (see Amy Rowland), Caroline, Bernard, Edward, Flash Ria, Honora (nee Bushnell or Smith), James, Chewbacca, Jemmy, Jimmy, Job, Harelip, Joe, John, John Robert, Lydia (nee Reynolds), Mary Ann, Matilda, Polly (nee Bushnell or Smith), Redshirt, Reuben and Tommy

Hope this is of help to someone.
