Yes it does get rather complicated.
Elizabeth and Matthew (born 1886) then stayed together they married in 1947 ,went to New Zealand for 6/8 years and returned to live with my Grandad,Dad .Elizabeth died in 1960 and Matthew died not long after returning from New Zealand in 1957 .
regarding Ezra (b1875) I don't know anything about him or where he went although as you say the dates plus name do match up .I hadn't managed to find any other details on him .
Thanks for helping despite the complications of the two Matthews two Ezra's etc :-)

Gritty- Thanks :-) Im determind to work this out and put the pieces together .I know what you mean,when Ive been researching Thomas Hunt there are slight differences in the birth years but as you have done linking up the information that is the same like place of both and the children then hopefully we will get there .

Regarding multiple marriages would divorces always show up ,I have not as yet found any records of divorce or did they remarry without actually divorcing ?

Does anyone know how possible it is to find graves etc of those that I have death dates of ?
Kindest Regards Flowergirl .

As posted before, to be more accurate, and get correct facts, you need one of below, to get Maiden Name of Mary, this will hopefully help lead to Marriage with Thomas, otherwise you could go 'round and round' getting more confused!.
