    Margaret is also likely to have been a sister, aunt or great aunt of the John Brewse shown below. She is likely to have been the sister of the Brewse daughter who married the Robert Raignold shown below. And there seems to be another sister, Muryell Brewse who married Sir Richard Audley of Swaffam Market.
