Hi,
I have been researching the Matson family of East Kent for some years now.
However, like all of us, I have some 'brick walls' where I just can't seem to make progress. So as a new member here are the two which I am really struggling with at the moment.
If anyone could help, I would really love to find the parents of William Matson who was born about 1762 and in 1781 married Mary Hyder at St. Leonards, Deal, Kent. The couple had 10 children. William was a miller in Deal and he died in 1826.
The other 'brick wall' is another William Matson. This time born about 1805 in Brightlingsea, Essex. He married Mary Ann Griggs in 1828 at Brightlingsea and the couple had 9 children, 7 in Brighlingsea and 2 in Ramsgate. Sometime between 1844 and 1847 the family moved to Ramsgate in Kent where William was a boatman in the Royal Harbour.
There is a family of Matsons in the Baddow Park/Mountnessing/St Lawrence area of Essex at the same time and I have a feeling that the William who went to Ramsgate could be connected to them.
If anyone has any ideas then I would be very glad for the help.
Also if I can help anyone in East Kent research then please let me know.
