Thanks to Debbie I have re-discovered the baptism entry that gave me 'The Pineapple' as place of birth and mother's name. Matilda was baptised as an adult at St. Paul, Woodlands on 21 April 1889. Mother's name recorded as Mary Ann Tidbury and abode as Pineapple, Woodlands. Thinking about this I suspect this was Matilda's abode at time of her baptism and _not_ where she was born. So I am provisionally putting her as born before 1869 at North Sidmonton. Only a birth certificate can clarify this.
