Can't see Alfred or Ellen in 1871 and can't see deaths that fit in Middlesex or Surrey.

Alfred had died by Sep 1873 but don't know about Ellen.

I can't see any other Matthews on board.

I can't see a birth, marriage or a death for 'Justice' Matthews.

No daughter Hope, or Charity or Prudence or son Courage. :)

Thanks Ellie.

So the marriage notice with "... eldest daughter of the late Alfred Matthews, of Enfield, Middlesex." refers to where he was born and not where he was last living.

Shipping record does not say where Faith was born.
