    Matthias has baptism and burial records (with images) on Ancestry, although it doesn't seem like his children do. He died on 03/08/1885 and was apparently cremated at Woking.

    The tree you refer to links to an 1871 census, which looks to be Matthias with one of his later wives and their children.
