Hi Jill Thanks for the look up offer If you could look for a marriage for John Mathews ~1814-1817 would be great- hopefully there aren't many to search through The first child I've found was George born Dec 1817 in Burford so the marriage would be 1817 or earlier.

> through The first child I've found was George born Dec 1817 in Burford > so the marriage would be 1817 or earlier. Don't be too sure of that! I have a number where the marriage took place AFTER the first child was born, one by as much as four years. I have another marriage where the couple already had two children before getting married. So, if a search in the years prior to the birth of the first child isn't successful, try the years following that birth. Good luck! Esther
