The information in Clermont on Matthew seems incorrect due to the following:

1. The 1881 census has Matthew Fortescue a Judge born in 1806 married to Maria Jane born in Hereford

2. Matthew Charles Maitland Fortescue married Maria Jane Bower in 1849 and is said to have died in 1857.- however we have Matthew above alive in 1881.

3 On one of the Birth details on IGI it says of Dawlish!

2. His earlier children were born in Greenwich which is the same as Joseph who was born to Matthew and Margaret Elanor
