  • Notes 
    • Age on burial was recorded as 80 and residence as Oyster Court.

      Matthew and his wife, Ann Weeks of Ospringe, had ten children during their marriage. Sadly, four of the earliest born children did not survive to adolescence. As of June 1841 the family was living on the east side of Abbey Street close to his son James and daughter-in-law, Sarah (nee Ruck). Matthew was employed as a dredger, as was James. Living at home with Matthew were all five of their surviving daughters. Ann had died a few weeks before the 1841 census was taken.

      By 1851 the family was found to still be living on Abbey Street with Matthew still following his vocation of dredging. Living with him at that time was his daughter, mary, her husband, Frederick Bunting, and one grandchild, Ann Weeks Bunting just 18 months old.

      By 1861, despite his age, Matthew was still working. He had, however, switched from the heavy work of dredging to that of a mariner. He was still living with his daughter Mary and her family who by then had moved over to Oyster Court.
