Descendants of John Newman

Descendants of John Newman

This family originated in Fareham, Portsea and Gosport, Hampshire. Sailor William Henry Newman came to Jersey with his wife Mary in about 1848.

William Henry Newman was shown in the 1851 Jersey census as the master of a smack. He was living with Mary, their children Henry George and Mary, and two servants. Henry George also became a seaman, serving on Orpheus, Harrier, Curacaoa and Falcon as an ordinary seaman from 1861 to 1865 and then a further two years on Falcon as an able seaman. He was still shown in the 1871 census as a mariner, but ten years later he was land-based as a fishmonger.

After the death of his first wife in 1882, he remarried two years later, emigrated with her to New Zealand, and had another family there

In common with the majority of our trees, this descendancy has been subject to regular review by site editors and checked against Jersey church records. Trees including French ancestry have also been checked as far as possible against French primary records. It is not always possible to carry out such checks on sections of trees with United Kingdom and/or colonial content

Record Search

If you want to search for records for any name in this family tree, or for any other family name, just click below on the first letter of the family name you are interested in. This will open a new tab in your browser giving you a list of family names beginning with that letter, for which there are baptism records in our database of half a million church and public registry records.

You can also select marriages or burials. Select the name you want and when the list of records is displayed you can easily refine the search, choosing a single parish, given name(s) and/or start and end dates.

The records are displayed 30 to a page, but by selecting the Wiki Table option at the top left of the page you can open a full, scrollable list. This list will either be displayed in a new tab or a pop-up window. You may have to edit the settings of your browser to allow pop-up windows for www.jerripediabmd.net. For the small number of family names for which a search generates more than 1,500 records you will have to refine your search (perhaps using start or end dates) to reduce the number of records found.
