hello, my introduction

[kgy52]

Hello my name is Ken Young and I live near Perth in Western Australia.
I have found your excellent forum and am hoping someone may be able to help me.
I have a number of photographs of my ancestors from Amble and thereabouts but unfortunately none have names on. Secondly I am trying to locate any relatives still in the area with the surname Matthews , who descended from Elizabeth Matthews nee Young (my grandfathers sister and her husband Edward Matthews.(married 1877 approx)
I have given a more detailed family history and explained the Amble connections in a post under the Amble section
Kind Regards Ken

Hello Ken
Great to hear you like our little forum. There are still Matthews around Amble!
Findmypast has the 1881 census free to view and the persons mentioned are on there with the original census document. I am also a Young, but I need to research if your lady was one of our lot as there are quite a few Youngs around here also!

I am sure you will find that our forum members will help if they can

best regards
John

Hi John, thank you for your message and advice. I will certainly take a look at the 1881 census and see if I can piece together any more of the history I am looking for.
Thanks Ken
