Hi
I am looking into the Brewster family from the Writtle area in Essex if anyone has any information.
I would like some more information on Benjamin born c1819 who married Ann born c1815 .
His father seems to be Benjamin born c 1795 .
Ann's parents were Thomas c 1795 and Mary Brewster ( she became woods before marrying Benjamin ) so they could well be cousins ?

Stephen - you have misunderstood "answered" - you only mark a thread as answered when you have the info you are looking for - not when you have sent a message

to remove "answered" click on it again and it will disappear

if you leave it there no one will bother to help you further as they think it's all sorted

right - you have corrected the "answered" bit - now give us details of who in particular you are tracing - use the reply box to give the details rather than by message - you'll soon get the hang of it
