Newton family of Hornchurch, Brentwood
« on: Sunday 31 May 09 14:28 BST (UK) »

Seeking information about the ancestry of George Newton (b abt 1781, probably Hornchurch, Brentwood, Essex) and his wife Mary Ann Newell (b abt 1788).

Known children of this couple:
* George Newton b abt 1812 (I have some census info on George and his family to 1881)
* Alfred Newton b abt 1818
* Charles Newton b abt 1822
* Walter (perhaps Walter James?) b abt 1824? (1851 census shown as a seaman, 25, but known to lie about his age, incl on his marriage record in Australia)

Walter (my line) apparently "ran away to sea" when quite young, possibly with his uncle (probably on the Newell side) who was a ship's captain. Reportedly they travelled to India among other places. Walter married Maria McClure in Australia in 1861.

I would like to find out as much as I can about his early life and his roots. Also about the Newells' connection to the sea. (I have records of American-born Newells as ships' captains travelling US - Far East - Australia in the mid 1800s but I haven't established any connection.)

Thanks for anything you can help with.

I havent got any info, sorry, except to advise that Hornchurch and Brentwood are completely different places!

Where did the info about his birthplace come from?

Is this the family in Woodford in 1841?
George 60 Ind  Y
Mary 53             Y
Charles 19  MS   Y    (Male servant)

Family Bible passed down shows Walter as coming from Brentwood, Essex.

1851 census record (where he's "at sea") shows his place of birth as Hornchurch, Essex.

Hence my reference to both in the subject. Probably I should have used a slash rather than a comma in my original posting.

oK that makes more sense!

1851
HO107 1769 427 20
Woodford
George 70 Annunitant bn Hornchurch
Mary Ann 63 bn Romford
Charles 28 son omnibus conductor bn Hornchurch
Mary Ann 27 sons wife bn Loughton
Charles 3 grandson bn Northumberland.

So Essex born Charles and his Essex born wife must have nipped all the way up to Northumberland at somwe stage!

Have you got a marriage for George and MAry?

No, I don't have anything at all other than what was in my first post. Anything extra would be wonderful. Even the 1841 census info is a bonus! Thanks so much,

So how did you find Mary's maiden name?

Is that in the Family Bible? If so any reference to date and place for marriage there?

The 1851 census for the 25 yr old Walter Newton, bn Hornchurch shows him as a Seaman, as you say. The address he (and many other seamen) are at is "Sailors Home, E.I Rd Poplar. Presumably East India Road.

Thank you for all these snippets of info that all help to build up a picture and fit some puzzle pieces together.

As it's the wee small hours of the morning here in Oz I'll be "off the air" for the next 8 hours or so, but I look forward to some more gems in the morning.

George 25  N
Ann 20    Y
Walter 15   N

was George a coffee house keeper in later censuses?

According to other researches of Walter's ancestry George had kept a coffee house. I haven't confirmed any of this, though have found him in 1881 as a retired coffee house keeper.

The dates would be consistent for the Walter I'm looking for. Perhaps when he ran away from his parents' home he went to his older brother's when he wasn't at sea. (Makes sense.)

Here is Alfred in 1851 - he was also a coffee house keeper!

HO107 1531 145 14
64 Grt Tower Str. Barking
Alfred 33 Coffee house keeper bn Hornchurch
Mary Ann bn Berks Windsor
Caroline Godfrey sister 22 unm bn Berks Windsor
Alfred Newton son 9mths bn London
+servants.

Looking at the places of birth I suspect Caroline Godfrey is Mary Ann's sister rather than Alfred.

Icant find Alfred's marriage to Mary Ann, I was hoping to.
Getting his marriage cert would be interresting to say what he said about his dads occuption - seeing as the censuses so far for dad have indicated he has independent funds, but not from where!

I wonder if this is George senior's death?

Jan/Feb/Mar 1855
West Ham ref 4a 21
George Newton

Unfortunately it is before ages are in the index.

If so (and you would need the cert to see) then it would be an idea to look for a will for him. If he was living off some sort of income or property then he is liokely to have left one, and also likely that he will mention his sons in it.
