William Mathew ROWE moved from Cornwall to Australia...

I wondered if Maria and Amelia MATTHEWS may have been sisters (Both from Paul and we do often see brothers marrying sisters) but no they were not sisters.

Amelia MATTHEWS was born 5 Aug 1811 and baptised 24 Oct 1811 Penzance Wesleyan. Parents Thomas MATTHEWS and Margery of Paul

Hi Antionette

I was just doing a general google search for "William Matthews ROWE" and it came up with this post.
I am related to William, he would be my Great Great Great Grandfather! we dont have a lot of info on this side of the family and i was very excited to find you on here. I live in South Australia, I knew that 2 of williams brothers moved to New Zealand, but we didnt really have any further info. Do you have a family tree on the internet anywhere? I have one on Genes Reunited and ancestry.com.
I wasnt sure how to send you a personal message on this site, i just joined when i read your post.
I am related through Williams daughter Lucy Maud ROWE.
hope to hear back from you

Thanks Donna for putting your message on here. I Henry Stanley is my great grand father so William Matthews is my 2nd great grandfather. yes i have a tree on ansestry.com. i will have a hunt and see if i can find you there. We had very little info on William and further back until the help of these people here.
We live in New Zealand, Henry must have moved to New Zealand also and he married here....

Hi Antoinette and Donna, Dee et all...
Thrilled to see this conversation...I am also a great great grandchild of James Ladner ROWE - Blacksmith of Buryas Bridge.

I have been looking at this familiy for quite a while and made a couple of freaky discoveries along the way which are not immediately obvious just looking at the online databases. And yes its very confusing with the generational use of the names James Ladner and William ROWE, and the "Matthews".

I am excited to hear the SA connection as we have been focused on WA - and recently discovered the NZ connection.  There is lots to that. (I am from WA but in Canberra at present)
 
I am afraid I don't have the whole story neatly plotted (or cited) as yet, but have quite a bit of info you may find interesting re: New Zealand.

Not sure the protocols on this site for getting in touch.  Happy to exchange email to continue the conversation.

kind regards
christine

Hi Christine.
Thanks for replying to this feed. I am happy to hear from you. No doubt we would have a bit to help each other with. I look forward to hearing further from you
I am in New Zealand and although I don't know much about the family but what research my parents have done I am happy to help with that much
