Thanks Mark, I found that yesterday along with references to the Willingdon( Eastbourne) family.  I am not looking from a family point of view but from trying to put some meat on the bones of documents we  have in Newhaven Museum from the wreck of the Brazen. I will get the other names (mostly infants) and post them though as these came from a survey of MI done in the 1960s and probably cleared by now, Pete

Not that unusual around Newhaven/Eastbourne- a lot of them called Edward too.

Hi, Edward and Charity are too young, Possibly his father. The only records I have are the payments made to Sea Fencibles for burying the Brazen crew  1800 and the warrant Feb 1802. That he was a Fencible implies he was a fisherman or similar at  that time although the warrant states "marine" . I 'll keep trawling. Thanks P

Looking for info on Edward Mewett, guessing b around 1770, a Sea Fencible at Newhaven 1800, then a warrant out for him Feb 1802 for" running away and  leaving his family" then described as Marine. Warrant issued in Newhaven

Occupation of a Newhaven resident 1881, obviously connected with the port but what? Pete
