It was also mentioned on that thread that a marriage could not be found for him

Does anyone have access to Yarmouth Norfolk Records. If so would they be so kind as to look up a Christopher Brewer baptised 1776 Yarmouth He has brothers William 1778-1850 and John baptised 1775 I believe his Father c1758 was called John. I am trying to find if he ( Christopher) married and if there were any descendants.
Thanking you In anticipation
