The One-Name Study is delighted to advise the following information to all Matthias descendants, following in depth research in original registers and transcripts of registers made in the 1930s.  
1. Grandfather of Matthias was Elizeius FARNWORTH, born January 1561/2 in Eccles, Lancashire, ENG

2. Grandmother of Matthias was named either Margreta or Margareta. The Christian name and surname were almost indecipherable even under a strong magnifying glass. She was baptised at Eccles parish church in the summer of 1564.

3. Elizius and Margreta married in September 1582 in Eccles parish church.

You may feel that this information is already around on familysearch.com, but we do not necessarily accept the LDS indices, preferring to check out the original registers where possible. The original transcribers of the Eccles church registers have our utmost admiration as they were really hard to read, even under infra-red light.
