Hi
Researching the Mathias family. Joshua Mathias (born 1807) at St Ishmaels, Pembrokeshire, he married Elizabeth George (born 1810) from Ambleston. They married at St Issells Church 1832. Their children were Sarah, Jonathan, Thomas, Isaac, Anne & Eliza.
I beleive Joshua Mathias' father to be Thomas Mathias (b c1776). He married Elizabeth ?Lewis.
