How are Thomas Mears and Elizabeth Meres Underwood Related?

Question

Hello! I have been working on entering the Meres family of Sussex England into the wikitree. I located a couple of great pedigree charts and I went ahead and entered them into the wikitree. My ancestor is: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Meeres-1

There has been discussion in the past that Elizabeth Meres Underwood and Thomas Mears were possibly siblings. I wanted to connect with other descendants of the Meeres/Mears/Meres family to see if anyone else had any ideas. I also did locate a very extensive pedigree for the descendants of:  https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Meres-10

At this time, I have not been certified to work on profiles before 1500, so am not really messing with trying to add the pedigree to the wikitree. (Also, the dates are way off, so I really don't want to mess up Nicolas Meres's descendants....)

Anyway, I believe that there is some indication of Thomas Mears and Elizabeth Meres Underwood being related... It would be great to collaborate and figure it all out.

I have seen both names many times in my own quest for the Underwood bloodline. It gets murky from my 3xgreat grandfather to Thomas. (About 3 generations).
