Matilda's family info
A message was left on my talk page, regarding good sources of information for Matilda's family information. It was unsigned and a user IP address name, so I'm posting a message here to ensure the response is seen.-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 16:26, 11 September 2014 (UTC)


 * I can find no Creole connection whatsoever: this suggestion we can only regard as fanciful. I have the will of Elizabeth Mary Hays, formerly Breese (nee Atkinson). She is certainly the mother of Matilda Hays, who is mentioned in the will. However, this material cannot be posted here as it is copyright the National Archives. I can demonstrate that Elizabeth Mary Atkinson married Jacob O Breese on 27 Jul 1803, and remarried John Hays in 1812. She is the mother of two Breese daughters, three Hays daughters and one Hays son. The will gives Matilda's name as Matilda Mary. The connection is proved by Matilda's entry in the 1841 census - also copyright - living with her uncle Thomas at De Crespigny Terrace, Camberwell. Thomas is John Hays' younger brother. All this I can show - but how can it be proved to the satisfaction of Wikipedia editors when the original sources are copyright? I hope to have advice.

Proposed merge with Theodosia Blacker, Lady Monson
Doesn't seem notable in own right, but only for connection to Matilda Hays. Notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. GretLomborg (talk) 05:35, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
