Common name William Matthews brick wall

[Neale1961]

Another good question where did the name Howard come from???

Clearly, YOU have added the middle name to the FamilySearch tree that you quote.
Why?
Where did you get that name?
It does not appear on any of your source documents.

Not the most scientific way to go about it but in the 1841 census it states the William Snr and Mary the parents where born in Alfreton.

One of the William Matthews is born in Pentrich, (mistranscribed as Pentvich) Derbyshire, England which is about 5km away so basically Alfreton

I found a record of a Mary Wragg being married to Joseph Crisp on ancestry where I don't have a subscription and can view it. So maybe Marry Wragg is Mary Crisp?? can anyone find this?

There is a tree on ancestry for Richard son of William and Mary states born 26 June 1826 Swanwick

Derbyshire.  He goes to USA first to Indiana, then Nebraska dies in Colorado.
------------------
It says his mother Mary Mathews, formerly Crisp nee Wragg died in Thingoe Suffolk 1871 that's along way from Derbyshire.

The USA part looks to be well researched I'm not so sure about England as it says he married an Ann Johnson? who died 1864 he then married Martha Enyeart 1866 in Indiana.

Need to find the passenger lists for 1851 plus or minus a year or two. 
1900 census he says he came to USA in 1851 and is a citizen, so his naturalization papers would help.

thank you, I makes sense that they went to America. The William Matthew (JR) which I know is right and most of his family ended up in Rock springs and became Mormons. They are very Well documented and all The photos online from this family are from a DNA match from that area.

So as For Mary Wragg Family search has her parents as John Wragg GGYL-B2W and Anne ? GGYG-X9H

This is from her christening 

Is there a way to find out more about John and Anne Wragg nee?
