Hi, Many thanks to all those who have been kind enough to guide me into finding out lots about this family JEHU MATHEWS lived at 5 Linen Hall Dublin 1820 Directory.1823 he was sitting on the Grand Jury. By 1841 only his wife was living there .He was a merchant in Mancester so looks like he was involved in the Linen industry. I have been reading with fascination about the Linen industry Can SKS tell me what would be the European version of Mathews as maybe I should also look for that version of his name. His children Samuel, 1806-1875 and Jehu became solicitors as did their children. Is there anyway I could find out more about the Huguenots coming into Ireland Many thanks Cheers Marilyn from Western Australia

Marilyn Do you know that there is a marriage for a Jehu Mathews in Manchester 25 Apr 1826 to a Mary Mcreever? You mentioned that he was a merchant in Manchester, so did he marry twice by any chance? This marriage is on FamilySearch.
