LS,
I am from Holland and hit the wall with an ancestor from the UK: Anna Benne from Colchester, born about 1617, married in the Netherlands 1637 to Nicolaes de Cantalu. I,m pretty certain she was a daughter of Thomas Benne, brewer in Colchester. One of his sons, also named Thomas, ran a few pubs in Amsterdam in the same period. could be coincedence, but I think not. These are the questions I have:
1. When and where was Anne Benne baptized in Colchester and who were her parents?
2. If I’m right about Thomas Benne, does anybody know about his family and their ancestors.
Any comment is welcome and thanks in advance.
Kind regards, Robert
