    Amazing what you find on YT.. My daughter owns a house in Scrooby literally 100 Metres from Willam Brewsters home in England.. Another of my daughters was married in the Little Church at Babworth where William would go to listen to Richard Clifton preach.. it's like 1mile from my home and the town my family have lived in for 100s of years.. We're probably related ;)

    I'm a descendant through my maternal line. My grandmother's mother's lineage. I found it on my family tree online. It explains a lot. My grandfather was a minister.
    Thank you for this.
