Hi - you may find some interesting background in Blomfields History of Finmere, downloadable from Google Books, link below. John Newman is mentioned on pages 24 and 26, but it's possible to search the book using various terms:

Thanks Graham - I'll check that out.

Yesterday I found another reference to him in a copy of Jackson's Oxford Journal dated May 20,1820 - his death notice
"On 12th inst. died at Clapham,John Newman Esq., of Finmere House,in this county, and upwards of twenty years an active Magistrate and Deputy Lieutenant for Buckinghamshire."
I'm interested to know if these pursuits were a full or part time
occupation.
Coincidently his son John b1810,my GGGG Father was also a Magistrate at Port Adelaide in South Australia,where he was a successful Customs & Shipping Agent.
Thanks again
Denis

Hi there you in sunny Qld! Freezing down here in NSW!

Re John Newman- I have just been reading old articles and came across John Newman re shipping agent and ship to NZ.

I gather you have quite a bit on the Newmans. Would you know if Ann Newman ( who married Robert jacques and arrived in SA with two sons in 1838 is connected to John? I also noted that there was a William Newman.

I am trying to tease the Jacques apart at the moment ( as Robert was linked to my ancestor Sarah), Thomas, William and Charlotte.

I saw that John and his wife Josephine emigrated on t he Canton in 1838. Did they come from London? Robert and Ann were married St Marylebone London in 1829 so the record says.

Would welcome any info you may have. There were also newmans who were architects in London so I read as well.

Hi Bronhill

Thanks for your note. I'll swap you some hot for some cold.

I don't believe there is any connection. John N b. 1810 was the youngest child of John & Dorothea who married in Teddington in 1788 and then settled in Finmere in Buckinghamshire. His known siblings are listed in my original post,but there is no Ann.
He was certainly a shipping agent in Adelaide for many years, and he more than likely was the agent for ships sailing to/from NZ.
Do you have a birth date/location for Ann?

Sorry I can't be of more assistance.

Hi there,

Ann was born in 1809.... not sure where. and married in 1829 in London.

That's about all I know. Just thought that both arriving in SA, as families did given the structure of the immigration program that they could have been connected. Is always possible they w ere cousins I suppose. Families who were connected did come out about the same time- at the settlement and proclamation of SA. They were all free settlers.
Am Just trying to find info about the Jacques and as I have found in other cases- family names keep popping up which are inextricably linked!
