How can we establish if Matthew Comb Jnr Brewer is Lt. Combe’s father & family? Are there records from Trinity House in Edinburgh that would list his parents when he joined at 14 yrs in 1808? There are no parents mentioned on his RN records that we have obtained copies of from the UK.

Matthew Comb/e Jnr Brewer Yardheads, Leith mentioned two sisters in his will Janet & Agnes – Agnes was married to James Scarth & I think they had a son Matthew Scarth that was Matthew Combe’s godson & nephew? To be confirmed.

Also who was Matthew Comb/e Snr. Brewer of Leith? Did he originate from England? Was he related to Harvey Christian Combe of London or was the Comb family Scottish for generations.

Lt. Matthew Combe b.1793 married Jane Manser Pevensey Sussex 1829 his son Matthew Tomlinson Combe b. 1830 c. 23 Oct 1831 Hooe, Sussex & emigrated to Australia, married Louisa Courtoy 1852 South Australia & later settled in Victoria.

If anyone has ANY information on the Comb/e or Campbell families we would be grateful if you could make contact
