Matilda is listed in the 1841 English Census for St. Paul, Bedfordshire, England.
After the death of her father and six of her siblings, Matilda, her mother, and two siblings immigrated to the United States. In late October 1843 hey boarded the steam ship, Champion, in Liverpool, England, for a journey that would last six and one-half weeks. This ship was chartered by the Mormon Society. Two more of her sisters came over separately.
The family arrived in New Orleans, Louisiana, on the 6th of December 1843. Matilda, her mother and sister then traveled to Nauvoo, Illinois where they lived for several years. During this time Matilda, at the age of 17, married into a polygamist marriage with Henry Royle on the 23rd of January 1846. This was just two days after her mother was married to Willard Richard. The extended family became part of the Willard Richard’s Company move to Utah, and after spending one winter at the “Winter Headquarters,” arrived in Utah in 1848.
Eventually Matilda left Utah when her mother made arrangements to smuggle her out of the state by paying a farmer to hide her under a load of hay. At that time it was against the law for women to leave the area. Matilda's mother and younger sister remained in Utah. Matilda moved to St. Louis where her brother and at least one sister were already living.
