Hello Listers, I have just found this list. Am researching James MATTHEWS and family. James was a butcher in Ruardean in the 1870s onwards. At least one of his sons, Ernest b 1873 was also a butcher. Following Ernest`s marriage breakdown in 1924, the family butchers business was sold up. I believe that Ernest was also the bell captain of the tower at the parish church of John the Baptist. If anyone can help with my research, I would be very grateful. Nick Beaton.
