I am looking for information regarding the Brewer family,Portsea Hampshire.
James Brewer b 1804 Fareham,Hampshire
married 30th may 1832
Jane Hall b 1812 Portsea,Hampshire
Children
Richard James b 1833
Mary abt 1834
James b 1837
George b 1842
Louisa Eleanor b 1843
Emma b 1847
I believe Mary Brewer married Unknown Matthew and had son William Matthew in 1860,William died in infancy.
she then married John Ingram ( marriage possibly took place in Portsea ) and went on to have son George John Ingram in Hartlepool in 1865,the family eventually settled in Whitby,Yorkshire.
I would be very grateful for any information at all about any member of the family.
Here's hoping :)

Hello anniee63,
Are you a little out with the ages of the children?
Fisrtly the only birth reg I can find for Louisa Eleanor Brewer is

(is it possible jane age 16 is mary -and her name in fact was mary jane?)

Hi Suz
That's amazing !
I may be out with the dates,and there is a strong possibility that Mary was Mary Jane.
I had no luck with her first marriage at all, just couldn't find any record of it.
Then there is a possible third marriage in Whitby,Yorkshire to George Suggitt.
Thanks

Hi Suz.
It's good having help when your this confused.
Just don't know where Richard James came from ???

There is a possibility that george could be george Edwin
Birth reg
George Edwin brewer
Dec qtr 1849
Portsea Island 7 179
I could not find another george b correct time and place - and who (possibly) is your george - on some census he gives the initial E
Back in a mo

I think Richard James may have died 1834 - there is a burial for a Richard Brewer, infant, in Portsea.
None of the children between Richard James and Louisa seems to hav been baptised - either that or my eyes need yet another test :-\

Am just going to have a quick run with the dog as he's sat with his legs crossed !

Well, all I've managed t do iss more or less confirm what you had -it seems mary jane marriaed John Ingham and appears with him on 171 - but have been unable to find a marriage- but havent checked complete index.
Have been looking for Emma - there is a possiblity she married Edward Williams -but was living as his wife for a few years before they married
Will do more checking tomorrow -think I need to clear my head - so many possibilities floating around
Will be back tomorrow.

Hi,
Just been reading your post.
My dad has been tracing the Brewer family.
He has a George Allen Brewer who lived in Portsea with his wife Anne Hellier.
I think George was born in Bath.
Don't know if this means anything to you?
