This new information has been very helpful. I do not have any information about Robert Brew, but did have a John Brew that died in 1896 at 48 years. I believe he may have been a son to William. I will see if we have a Robert too. I will look at my Brew tree for him. My great-great grandmother was a Brew (on the IOM). Lois, I can't thank you enough for inspiring me to keep digging - so much more to learn.
