Here is documentation for having the relationship of Elizabeth A. Bowden and erroneous husband Joseph G. Brewster and four Brewster children removed.  I had combined my 1st cousin 3x removed with Joseph G. Brewster's wife Lizzie A. [Brawn] about 3 years ago, and doing the temple work for them and their children. Last week, I discovered that Elizabeth had gone to California with the rest of her family sometime between the 1880 census when they were living in Orland, Hancock, Maine, United States, and 1886 when younger sister Grace L. Bowden was born in California. 

A photo volunteer contributor on Find A Grave had taken pictures of all the grave stones in the Bowden/Small plot at Odd Fellows Cemetery in Hollister, San Benito, California, United States for me.  I discovered Elizabeth Brookes, Sgt. Geo. Leigan, and Charles Darrell Leigan were buried there close to Elizabeth's parents [Joseph] Warren Bowden and my 2 great grand aunt Abbie A. [Small] Bowden, and Elizabeth's brother Charles F. Bowden.  Before very long I had lots of proof of my error and I separated the record of Elizabeth A. Bowden from Lizzie Augusta Brawn, and removed the relationships I had done for the marriage of Joseph G. Brewster and the four Brewster children.  Then I added the relationship of the children to Lizzie's record since she was already a wife of Joseph G. Brewster.  I am assuming that the sealing to the four children are still good for Lizzie Augusta Brawn since it was done during the time that she was combined with my cousin.  However, Elizabeth needs to have her incorrect relationships removed by the appropriate department.
