It could be he is, since his family ( or regiment) would have had to cover the costs of his being returned to the Falkirk area.
We are checking.

I have been contaced by a Peter Brown who confirms the family connection between the two Mathews and advises that he very much appreciates the efforts of those involved in this thread and the details that have been uncovered here.

He confirms that Matthew who died at Pirbright was his grandfather's brother and that Matthew the elder was that mans uncle.
I have asked Peter if he can shed light on the burial location.
