My 5 x gt grandmother was called Honor Brewer.
She married a Thomas Eplett.
Their daughter Honor Eplett was my gt x 4 grandmother. She married a William Brewer.
Their daughter Honor Brewer was my 3 x gt grandmother. She broke the pattern and married William Pope.
They had two daughters, Honor Brewer Pope ( my 2 x gt grandmother) and Mary Ann Pope. Guess who Mary Ann married? Yes, a John Brewer.
The thing is, Mary Ann Pope Brewer was widowed by 1861:
1861 RG9/1560 Folio: 89 Page: 16 she is a visitor with a set of Brewers and also visiting is Jane, b 1859. It doesn't say so, but I am guessing that Jane is Mary and John's daughter. Thing is, I can't tell whether the Brewers she is with are her in-laws or her mother's family. And there are too many Brewers all called John and Mary and Jane to disintangle.
Sympathy please!
