Please can some kind person help me with this (fill in some of the ???)

In his will of 1769, probate 1771 at Westleton Suffolk
Thomas Rous (born ???) gives bequests to
1. My Wife Anna (nee ??? born ???)
2. My Son Thomas (born ???)
3. My Dau Hannah (born ???)
and two underage people not clearly defined:
4. a child "John William Inglish" (who?)
5. a child James (who)


A likely identity of 2. My Son Thomas (above) is
the will of a certain Thomas Rouse drawn up in 1815 at Westleton

This will gives bequests to
1. My wife Sarah (nee??? born ???)
2. My Son Thomas (born ???)
3. My Dau (name???, born ???) wife of Daniel Hill

Many thanks

I would try parish registers to find the marriages first, and then the births. Unfortunately FreeReg doesn't have anything for Westleton so I can't be much help.
