Hi Keith,
I can help you with the 1861 England Census-I don't have access to the 1841 or 51 censuses - someone else may be able to help you with these.
Here is William, Sarah and their large family (on the image the spelling is Mathews) living at Castle St, Farnham Surrey
William Mathews born c1822 age 39 Farnham, Surrey Cordwainer Head
Sarah Mathews born c1821 age 40 Sutton, Sussex, Wife
Thomas Mathews born c1842 age 19 Farnham, Surrey Cordwainer Son
Henry F Mathews born c1847 age 14 Farnham, Surrey erand boy Son
William Mathews born c1848 age 13 Farnham, Surrey scholar Son
Rose Mathews born c1850 age 11 Farnham, Surrey scholar Daughter
Fredrick Mathews born c1851 age 10 Farnham, Surrey scholar Son
Ellen Mathews born c1853 age 8 Farnham, Surrey, scholar Daughter
Phebe Mathews born c1857 age 4 Farnham, Surrey, Daughter
George Mathews born c1859 age 2 Farnham, Surrey, Son
Jessamine Mathews born c1853 age 8 Farnham, Surrey scholar Niece
RG9/432 Fol 65 Pgs 19 and 20
I am also interested in Matthews in Surrey - but at this stage I can't see a connection with yours.
All the best,
margaret
