BREW family

[chattygirl]

Have been doing some IOM research and found my great great grandfather Caesar BREW burial place in Onchan with Rebecca his wife. Keen to establish other family links.

presume you have tried http://brew.clients.ch/BrewONS.htm and also http://www.isle-of-man.com/cgi-bin/interests/genealogy/bulletin/index.pl?noframes; where Sue is active in Brew name.
There is an interesting query - the marriage  Lezaye 18761230 is to a Rebecca Cubbon - however the rebecca in the 1881 census (w/o rly worker Caesar) would appear to match rebecca cowley - I can't find any rebecca cubbon in 1861 census - did you resolve this - if she was a cowley then I probably have more - Caesar also appears to be something of a mystery - s/o Wm + Mary Cowley - Mary had an illeg ch margt by a wm brew then appears as mary brew in 1851 as married but no husb present as a labourer aged 32 at Rhenny moar Jurby (d/o Hugh Cowley + cath lawson) all ch indicated as illeg in regs - in 1861 aged 42 at Guilcagh in Andreas with 49 year old Wm + 8 yr old Caesar (bur age 45 Onchan 18980325) + several other child

did you resolve this or have I merely confused 2 mary 'brew's

Hi-thanks for the information. I'm just back from the IOM with loads of paper work to go through. We visited Cesar and Rebeccas grave in Onchan. Ceasar met with an unfortunate accident whilst working on the electric railway in Douglas in 1898. Rebecca was said to have been left with 6 children. Her faimily home we believe to have  been the Cubbon family at the Shipyard gate house in Ramsey.

Thanks for the links.

My family is also descended from Caesar Brew, via William Edward. Would like any info you have. I have his father as William born 1812 but am not sure his father was james married to Margaret. Did you take a photo of the grave as I would love a copy. Any other photos of Caesar or family would be great.
Cheers

Hi Kaye.

My name is Helen and Sylvia is my first cousin and of course Simons mother. Uncle Sid and my Dad ,William Douglas (Doug) were brothers. I started the family research about 2004 and been a bit patchy as was working at the time but taken early retirement so a little more time to look at it all. Tony and I went to the IOM and found out quite a bit about Uncle Sids and my Dads grandfather Caesar Brew who we found out was killed on the Manx railway 1898. His eldest child William Edward was the father to Sid and my Dad. I know that Simon was chatting with his Mum over Christmas about family information as Ive just been speaking with Sylvia. We had lost touch but met up at a cousins funeral two years ago and have kept in touch since. I have some paper reports of the accident and happy to send you both a copy if you are happy to pass on your address.
I'm in touch with Sylvia, Peter (Dorothy (Auntie Dolly) Brews . Robert Brew (Uncle Regs son) and his family.
Im building the tree on Ancestry for the Brews and the Goldsmiths. I have some photos of  Christian Goldsmith (mine and Sylvias great grandmother)  Can I help with passing over what I have?  Im also in touch with another cousin in the IOM who is on the Goldsmith side.
Good to chat with you. Hope you and Simon are well.
Helen
