John Matthews

[lolmac3]

Please someone put me out of my misery  my GGGrand Father was called John Matthews, he was born in Ditchling, Sussex in 1755.

Now I know I have seen a christening record on one of the geneology sites, I had even printed it out, but now I have lost the printout and have spent the last 4 hours trying to find it online again - can someone help please?

he is listed as Jno Matthews and his mother was Ann and where his father should be on the record it had XXX

I will be most grateful 

many thanks

Hello to Lorraine who posted a question regarding her early relative John Matthews ,Christened on 16 th Nov 1755 . I am helping a friend who hasn't got a computer, to trace his family too , his name is David Matthews and his GGGranfather was John Matthews christened in Ditchling on the exact same date so you look very much as if you are related ! he has a great deal of information about his family as they were  mostly travelling showmen ( loads of pictures ! ) he is living in a place called Felpham , near Bognor Regis ,in West Sussex , England let me know if you would like me to continue with this line of enquiry, Thank you Vere Barlow
