George & Matthew Furness are they brothers?

[andrew193]

Following on from my previous thread on Henry Furniss, it was stated that his father was George and i think i've found him in the shape of George Furness B1802 and was 1st married to a Ann (surname unknown) B 1811 D1841 and then in 1843 to Elizabeth Hallam B1826. On the 1841 census is a Matthew Furness B1811 who married 1830 to a Eliza Brown B1816.
The families lived mostly in the Bradfield, Stannington area of Sheffield and i've pretty much got the various families going forward but am trying to establish wether George & Matthew are in fact brothers.

For anyone looking, I think this is the previous thread that Andrew is referring to -

On digging around a bit more i find that George is B1802 but Matthew is probably 1809 which makes it more likely they are brothers but who are their parents??
