This photo features my great grandparents Matthew (1871-1954) and Jane Matthews (1877-1957) with their six children in the back garden of their house in Wilding Street, Lower Ince. The children (from left to right) are Polly (1913-1994), Alfred (1905-1980), Thomas (1910-1982), Hannah (1919-1998), Margaret (1902-1989), and Laura (1915-1929). Matthew Matthews and Jane Beesley married in 1902 at St. Mary's Church, Lower Ince, and Matthew was a Coal Hewer at Moss Pit.

Do you know Matthews fathers name by any chance? Also did he have a sister Martha? born about 1878.

Hi. Matthew's father was Thomas. No Martha in the line though.
