A Newman Family History

We here at A Newman Family History are pushing snippets of our website daily, however did you know we are constantly updating the articles and photo gallery.
This week we added two new articles to the London and Southwark  and the Distaff catagories we hope to add more in good time.
We hope to report on these articles in our daily showcase section soon.

As well as website articles and new photos in the gallery we have customised our forums to look a lot nicer, we hope you like the design.
Thank you to all family members who have already signed up and introduced themselves. Hopefully we can become a centre-point for Newman family discussions.

Progress on the book has been good we have now entered editing/proofing stage and hopefully by the end of this month be able to start pushing for release.

Check out all the new additons to the site at http://www.newmanfamilyhistory.com/

This has been a short website update by Trevor the administrator of A Newman Family History.

Todays new extract from the Newman family history website comes from the Distaff & families descended from Newmans section.

Between 1850-1900 the population of Australia rose from 405,000 to 3.7 million, the majority of whom came from emigrants from the British Isles.

Between 1850-1900 the population of Australia rose from 405,000 to 3.7 million, the majority of whom came from emigrants from the British Isles. One of these was Mary Jane Newman (1851-1905), eldest surviving daughter of Samuel John Newman (1826-1886) and Mary Jane Pollard. At the age of 17 she undertook the fourteen week voyage, probably disembarking at Melbourne in March 1868.

Although Hugh Newman of Epsom (1689-1746) left a son Samuel (born 1733) his heirs appear to have been the descendants of his daughter, Mary (1725-1780), who on 13 November 1750 married William Storey (or Story), tailor, at St. Paul’s, Covent Garden. The family retained ownership of property in Epsom as late as 1892, when what had previously been held by copyhold was converted to freehold.
