Hi

Do you mean living relatives?  Sorry but we can't name anyone who is living or possibly living. 
I take it from the date Jesse Edmund has now passed away. 

If you are looking for his ancestors then if you can give more details like when he was born and where can look further

Jesse died aged 37 in 1942 and he was married to a Sarah jane Naylor...

George Edward Matthews, of 11 Oxford Street, married Clara Parsons, of 3 Red Cross Street, at St Mary on 11th April 1883.

Jesse, of 174 Grasmere Street, was baptised at St Mary on 9th June 1903. Eight siblings at St Mary.

where does the name David fit in? My nan sarah had a daughter Myrna who died in 1980... are you saying david Matthews is still alive?

[Milliepede]

I think David could be the name of the person who posted the information?

[DCB]

Sorry about the confusion, I added the census information as an afterthought, without including a P.S.

Regarding Myrna, she is blanked out on the 1939 Register and so presumed to be still living.

A couple of marriages:-

Gladys Evelyn Matthews, of 1 Napier Street, married William Thomas Mason at Cossington on 2nd July 1922 - Clara Matthews was a witness.

Doris Adelaide Matthews, of 1 Napier Street, baptised in 1901, married James William Willis at St Andrew, Leicester, on 7th July 1924. Clara a witness but George deceased.

From what I can find,  moved to Birmingham and I ma not sure if she had any children. Doris lived in Leicester with at least two children.

Doris lived in Birmingham and may have had a child in 1943.

Hi there!

I was wondering if anybody had any information regarding the John Arnold Matthews (the brother of Jesse Edmund Matthews) mentioned prior.

Currently I am aware he was born 1st December 1898, enlisted in 1915 giving a false age to which he was discharged 87 days later (on his actual birth date) he was single at this point but in 1939 he was listed as married but living with mother Clara Parsons on Filbert Street Leicester.

Any additional information would really be appreciated!
