I am Philip Brewster's great granddaughter, his son Philip Brewster the second was my grandfather. Our family hold some paper work such as birth certificates and marriage certificates. So I knew Philip was much older than my great grandmother Rosa. I always wondered if he left a wife and family behind when he went to Samoa. I can see from the paper work he had a wife Dorothy. I would be interested to know more about my Brewster lineage and if he had children from his first marriage.

Philip Brewster was my grandmother's older brother. He was born in Ely, Cambridgeshire. on 24/06/1868, the third child of 13 children. He trained on a Naval sailing ship and stopped in New Zealand. He apparently ended up in Samoa.

This man is my great grandfather. I will always keep you in my heart papa..love you! He married a woman named Rosa Reese when he was serving in Samoa. 1915-1916.
