Thomas Stedwell [bap 9 Jul 1637] & Ann/e Elizabeth Brewer married 1663 Hurstpierpoint: Thomas was from Laughton a yoeman.  He and Ann/e Elizabeth had 3 children, Elizabeth [1664], Mary [ 1665/66] and Ann/e jnr [1667/68].

Anne Elizabeth sen was buried 1669. 

The children were mentioned in a Will 1678 as their mother was kinswoman to Goddard Newington. 

I am unable to locate what became of the children and of the husband after that date. ???  The only Will I could find was for Thomas' father who made Thomas jun executor.

Any assistance much appreciated.

This is odd.   Laughton baptisms for those children in those years show the parents as Thomas and Elizabeth and a burial for Elizabeth wife of Thomas in 1669.
The marriage in 1663 is to Elizabeth Brewer.   Typo or do you have the wrong person?

Hello Sillgen,

What is odd is how did I write Ann when it was Elizabeth?

Sincere apologies - yes Elizabeth Brewer/Bruer
