Thanks for all these "gems", Liz. The overnight elves have done very well Wink

Getting a will for George could provide valuable info, I agree. I'm thinking there must be a lot more children than just the 4 sons I know about (George, Alfred, Charles and Walter) given the usual size of families back then (incl at least George's, Alfred's and Walter's in their generation - don't know about Charles yet). I suppose there are parish records that could prove useful. Would that be your recommendation?

I'll have to try to find out more about the Newell side of the family too. (Perhaps that's where the money came from?!)  I have a hunch that I might find out how Walter came to Australia by following the Newells back a bit. There is a Mr W Newton who arrived in Australia from the US (San Francisco via Hawaii) on the "Vaquero" (Captain FA Newell) in abt 1858 - he was an "unassisted immigrant" i.e. passenger, not crew. There are also a couple of other possibilities but this "Newell" connection is getting me in for now.

Thanks again for your lookups! RootsChatters provide a great service!

I have found reference to a Captain James Newell sailing the brig "William" between Liverpool, Eng and Prince Edward Is, Canada in 1826 and 1830. This is in addition to the Captain Francis Ames Newell (US-born) who sailed the "Vaquero" between San Francisco and Hawaii and sometimes on to Australia (directly or via Hong Kong) in the mid 1850s.

There are also lots of Newells and Newtons referred to in various trade directories etc. for Essex in the 1800s that could prove useful - too many names to mention here.

I guess this gives me some clues as to researching the Newell side of things.
