Andrew,
I am also searching the Matcha family line, since there may belink to my paternal grandmother maternal great-grandmother, who was supposed to ahve married a realtive of Lord Horatio Nelson. Right now I ma just in the process of confirming the connectin, since family lore tends to be embellished the same waya fisherman embellishes the fact that story aboutthe big one he caught. So maybe we will be able to help one another.
anyway, here is what I know:
(1) Thhere sis a george Matcham that married Catherine (kate) Nelson the younger and favorite sister of Lord Nelson. according to biographies that I have come across on Lord nelson and his family, George Matcham marrie Catherine Nelsom in 1788. George died in 1833. Catherine died in 1842. They had 115 children. Only three are named. I do not know if this is because the other 12 died at an early age orfor some other other reason.
(20 Child: Geearge Matcham died1877. Spouse: Harriet Eyre.
(3) Child: Catherine Matcham died1831. MariedLT. john BENDYSHE, R.N. (Possibly Royal Navy)
(4) Child Harriet Matcham (No dates at presnt time.)married Captain Edward Blankley, R.N.
i the information I have come across, families are indicated for each of the above named offspring of gearge Matcham and Catherine Matcham. Althouh I ahve no names or facts onthat yet. I hope this is of service to you. I would appreciate it if you andtheothers searchimg this family line would stay in contact with me and let me knwo what you find out.
Note: Gearge and Ctaherine Matham are said to ahve raised "Little Emma," the illegitimate child of Lord Nelson and Lady Emma Hamilto, his mistress.
Good luck with your search.
ordially;
Keith H. seymour
