ian Report 6 Feb 2017 11:51

Have found part of this family from the 1895 census on line, it gives me FRERICO H BORN 1872, ENRIQUE BORN 1875, LUCIA BORN 1877 & CAROLINA BORN 1879 living Almirante Brown South Gran Buenos Aires
The father was HOWARD MATHEWS b 1833 ENGLAND, he must have left England 1869/70/71 but can find no trace on any records.
Have looked at some sites in Buenos Aires no records for births etc
Can any one help with this, THANKS

If you want to find anything else about the births it may be worth you reading this - civil registration in Argentina didn't begin until 1886
