I have some more info. There seems to be little consistency in the spelling of MATTHEWS in the records. The family were non-conformists, which may help when searching records.

MATTHEW HOLLIS was born 30 Oct 1739.

Additional Children of MATHEW HOLLIS and JANE MATTHEWS were...

JOSEPH HOLLIS b. 1765
RUTH HOLLIS b. 1767
MATTHEW HOLLIS b. 1774
WILLIAM HOLLIS b. 1777
SAMUEL HOLLIS b. 1789

JOSEPH HOLLIS was my 4xG Grandfather. He was baptised on 29 Sep 1765 at Ellesmere. He married SARA MATTHEWS on 29 July 1792 at Prees. SARA MATTHEWS was daughter of JOHN MATTHEWS and SARAH, she was baptised on 23 Oct 1774. I can't find if there was any relation between SARA MATTHEWS and her mother-inlaw JANE

JOSPEH HOLLIS and SARA MATTHEWS had the following children

HANNAH HOLLIS b. 1793, d. 1807
JANE HOLLIS b. 1795
SAMUEL HOLLIS b. 1797 Loppington, d. 1853
SARAH HOLLIS b. 1807

SAMUEL HOLLIS was my 3xG Grandfather. By 1832 he'd moved to London, where the rest of his line lived until me.
