Hello, I'm trying to find information on William Henry Matthias C1862 married to Sarah Jane Smallwood b1865, of Brymbo, Denbighshire. They had the following children: Mary c1885 Elizabeth c1887 Edward William c1889 Thomas James c.1891 d.1966 (he was Wrexham's 'Mr. Football') John c1894 Ernest c1896 Joseph c1898 Percy c1901 Arthur Albert The above son Thomas James Matthias died in 1966 in Australia, where he had emigrated with his wife Annie, son Phillip and his wife Molly, also Thomas' son Tommy was living over there with sister Betty. Thomas's father William Henry Mathias used to run the Cross Foxes, Abbot Street, Wxm in the 60's. Would love to hear from anyone who may have known the family Regards Sharon

Dear Sharon
Although I don't know the family, what you have written caught my eye.
I am trying to find a Christine Matthias who was born in Trowbridge, Wiltshire in 1947 and who I have been led to believe may have been brought up in Wrexham.
I know it's a long shot but if you don't ask you don't get!
Kind regards
