Looking for the following surnames of the wives who married into by various great grandfather's family: Elizabeth HOY married Robert SURRY 1779 Tollesbury (died 1785) Mary Ann ALDEN married Samuel SURRY 1818 Tollesbury (died 1819) Ann HOWARD married Samuel SURRY 1821 Tollesbury Rebecca LEMON married Robert SURRY 1785 Tollesbury ..Rebecca was widowed in 1818; she then married to James SHEARCROFT I have had little (or no) success trying to research these names from this area of Essex.

My great great grandfather was Thomas Howard, a wheelwright and post master who lived in Inworth and Tiptree, not far from Tollesbury. He was born on the Isle of Sheppy sometime between 1808 and 1819 - he claimed to be different ages at different times. I've always suspected that Thomas was related to John Howard, a Maldon shipbuilder, though I've never been able to prove this.
