I have some information about Thomas Playsted. My husband is descended from Samuel Hewlett (1769-1852) through his son Samuel (1816-1880). The eldest child of Samuel Hewlett was Ann (1795-1851) who married Thomas Playsted on 29 December 1825 - registered at Newnham. They had 7 children between 1826 and 1839. At the time of their marriage his residence was registered at Aylford. Other information is as follows:

1841 census- occupation carpenter, residence Brains Green
1851 census - occupation carpenter, residence Woodside Cottage, Brains Green
1851 - death of Ann Playsted
1852 - death of father in law Samuel Hewlett - Thomas was an executor of his Will and the Playsted children were left a considerable amount of property which was bequeathed to the benefit of Thomas Playsted during his life time
1855 - marriage to Sophia Gibbons - occupation Builder
1861 census - occupation is retailer of cider at Brains Green
1871 census - occupation Inn Keeper at Brains Green
1871 - Thomas Playsted died at Brains Green (December Quarter)

Thomas and Sophia had 6 children from 1855-1867. The children from his first marriage would have inherited the property left by their grandfather Samuel Hewlett -this comprised real estate. The children of the first marriage took possession and Sophia and her children moved to Wales.

I can provide further information. Please let me know. The FOD site has most of this information together with the census.
