Re: Maxwell,Brew,Cubbon,Cannell

Yes, yes, yes, Sue, that is he, my ggg grandfather. I had just learned of him in the past few months. I had always wondered where my grandfather (whom I never knew, I really had never met any relatives on either side of my family) John Maxwell Brew got his middle name and when I conversed with some Brew people (no known relationship) they all told me that I couldn't have had a grandfathr with that middle name as it isn't Manx whereby Brew is a total Manx name. He died before my father was born and my father had the middle name of Maxwell also and now after many,many years I found that's where the Maxwell name came from (a surname). I had found somewhere that his first wife was Anne Caine but nothing else. Thankyou so much. This is another piece of the thread. I am totally thankful that you have been so kind.
