Hi lynmac,

Welcome to rootschat.

Do you have any other info on your gggrandfather, such as where was he born and married.

If you have a county that would be a start.

Hi lynmac,

This could be the bapt of John Thomas Mattingley;

St.Mary, Reading, Berks 18-10-1809 son of John Mattingley & Elizabeth.

also

Elizabeth Anne Long baptised 25-12-1812 St.Mary, Reading, Berks dau of Robert Long & Charlotte

These are "extracted" entries from the IGI so are reasonably sure of the details as against "submitted"

entries which are not safe to assume their correctness.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Alan...
I am new to genealogy working with a cousin of mine who has been researching for 15 or so years

 I do have a bit of wrong info I believe, which sent me on a wild goose chase, as far as I know he was born in 1809, I am not sure where, he died here in Australia in 1876..
The information I had  that I think is wrong is that his Father was John Thomas Mattingley also, born in 1788,whose father was James Mattingley and his mother was Sarah Pope..but information I have found  is that their son John died  in 1798 when he was just 10 years old..?
John Thomas Mattingley Born 1809 is elusive ...my cousin has not been able to locate his parents.

 :)Thank you Alan for those details..do you have any details of the father... John Mattingley or Elizabeth?

Hi lynmac,

I am unable to find any other details at the moment.

I have noticed you have posted this lookup in  Oxfordshire.

If you think the earlier reply with Reading is more likely the correct

town then it might be more beneficial to post in the Berkshire county.

That way you may get other assistance from rootschatters.
